Energy Transformation Kit
Appropriate for grades 6 to 12 Brings the First Law of Thermodynamics to life! This pair of precision-machined, chrome-plated steel balls is actually a hands-on demonstration in energy transformation. By striking the balls together, you will create enough heat at the point of contact to burn a hole in a sheet of paper.
