HEAT & TEMPERATURE
$27.99
This book and kit explores the topics of Heat and Temperature. Did you know that quantum mechanics was discovered through an exploration of these very topics? Point and measure temperature from floor to ceiling, from freezing to boiling with an infrared thermometer. Measure the rising temperature of an oozing, snaking, exothermal reaction. Make your own heat pack. Expand and contract and repair with heat. Radiate, convict, and conduct heat. Learn about absolute zero. Make your own thermometer.
