Science Wiz Heat and Temperature Kit

Thermodynamics here we come. Heat transfer is a hot topic, indeed. Explore how the use of thermometers led not only to the discovery of invisible light (infrared) but also to quantum mechanics!

• Point and measure temperature from floor to ceiling with an infrared thermometer


• Explore changes in state and record freezing and boiling points


• Capture your thermal thumbprint


• Measure the rising temperature of an oozing, snaking exothermic reaction


• Make your own heat pack


• Expand and contract and repair with heat


• Radiate, convect & conduct heat


• Learn about absolute zero


• Explore Herschel’s experiment with thermometers and the discovery of infrared light


• Measure black-body radiation and prepare to stumble into the ultraviolet catastrophe

For children ages 8 and up Includes a 40-page book & materials.
