Higher Level Thermodynamics Physics Student Science Kits

• Set of equipment for carrying out 22 student experiments on thermodynamics and heat
• In a tough plastic tray containing a foam insert with cut-outs for the equipment and featuring a transparent lid
• Experiments are set up and performed on the Base Plate so that they are compact but still clear in their layout and objectives
• Includes comprehensive experiment descriptions (student / instructor version)

Experiments:

• Change in the volume of liquids due to heating
• Calibration of a thermometer
• Change in the volume of air due to changes in temperature
• Changes in state of an enclosed volume of air
• Changes in the length of solid bodies when heated
• Linear expansion coefficient
• Investigations using bimetal strips
• Transfer of heat in solid bodies
• Transfer of heat in liquids
• Transfer of heat in gases
• Radiation of heat
• Slowing down the transport of heat
• Temperature changes when liquids are heated
• Fundamental equation of thermodynamics
• Mixing water of differing temperatures, temperature of mixture
• Specific heat capacity of a calorimeter
• Specific heat capacity of metals
• Initial temperature of a metal body heated in a flame
• Conversion of electrical energy into heat
• Temperature changes when ice melts
• Specific latent heat of melting ice
• Boiling and condensation of water
• Distillation
• Evaporation of liquids (what it depends on and heat loss due to evaporation)
