Unique way to illustrate the different heat capacities of various metals features a slanted panel with four grooves to hold four different metals. Place a sheet of bee’s wax in the front of the pane and submerge the metal samples in hot water. When the metals are placed on the grooves simultaneously they will melt and sink through to different levels based on their specific heat. Includes four metals cylinders: Aluminum, Copper, Lead and Tin; support stand, two pieces of beeswax and instructions.

Seamless construction, Safer than traditional models, features a tripod base that dissipates heat more evenly and efficiently. The base and legs are of chrome plated steel for heat and corrosion resistances are also unlikely to melt if the unit is used improperly. Supplied with instructions.

To show that metal has a lower specific heat than wood, constructed of wood on one end and hollow metal on the other. One way is to simply let students feel both ends of the cylinder at room temperature, enabling them to see that the metal end is cooler than the wooden end. Another easy demonstration is to wrap paper on both ends and hold the cylinder over a flame for five seconds. The metal end will be relatively unmarked while the wooden end will show scorch marks. Includes instruction manual.
