Great Intro For Solar Energy!

Radiometer with four lightweight metal arms.

Bimetallic strips attached to wood blocks to study thermal energy.

Ideal for studying heat and thermodynamics.

Record Temperature Differences, Revolutions, and pV Diagrams

A hands on visual of converting heat to power.

A set to demonstrate the rise in temperature when a fixed mass of gas is compressed.

High quality linear expansion apparatus to study thermal expansion.

Ice Melting Blocks are a unique way to teach principles of conductivity of heat and the scientific method.

For demonstrating the differential expansion of two metals as shown by the curvature produced when the bar is heated. Each metal band is 200 x 15mm and riveted together.

The movement of liquid currents due to differences in temperature is demonstrated by introducing dye into the water in the tube. One corner of the tube is heated and the movement of the dye clearly establishes the currents. The rectangular shaped tube measures 15×21 cm and has an opening at the top.

The Student Coin and Feather Tube shows the two items in a vacuum, falling at the same rate.

This simple device gives a graphic demonstration of the sun’s radiative energy.

Demonstrate the force of air pressure without a vacuum pump. The edges of the two 8.5 cm rubber cups are placed together and pressed to expel the air between them. Students discover the difficulty of separating the cups by pulling and tugging on the handles - providing an effective, 'hands-on' demonstration of air pressure.

Observe the phase transition at the critical point.

Metal cylinder set for demonstrating density investigation and specific heat experiments.
