Advanced Student Experiments Kit SEK - Heat

The Advanced Student Experiments Kit SEK - Heat contains the apparatus needed to carry out a range of heat experiments for students. Detailed instructions and manuals for teachers and students are included on CD-ROM. The apparatus is stored in a tough plastic tray which includes foam inserts for each piece of apparatus to ensure the apparatus is stored safely and securely.

A Range Of Heat Experiments

This kit enables students to carry out a range of experiments on heat. The full list of experiments possible with this kit is:

• 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

Please note: these experiments also require the Advanced Student Experiments Kit Base Plate.
