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.

For demonstrating the different heat conductivities of five metals by observing the melting of wax.

For poor conductors, 3 cylindrical blocks of Copper 50 mm diameter 12.5 mm thick, with radial holes for thermometers, are clamped in a wooden frame by a screw, with 2.5 W, 6 V heating element and a set of 3 bad conductor discs.
