Specific Heat

Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the identity of a metal based on its specific heat capacity.

Supports NGSS Performance Expectation HS-PS3-1: Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.

Specific Heat

Combining equal masses of the same substance with different temperatures will produce a mixture with a temperature that is an average of the two samples. Will...

Featured Equipment

Calorimetry Cups (6)

Set of six polystyrene calorimeter cups for beginning calorimetry.

Specific Heat Set

Has five different materials, all having same mass (80g).

Wireless Temperature Sensor

The Wireless Temperature Sensor is a general-purpose sensor found in many science labs. With a rugged, waterproof design and a long-lasting battery, students can spend more time collecting data and less time dealing with equipment.

Essential Chemistry Starter Lab Kit

This Starter Lab Station includes the wireless temperature, conductivity, pressure, and pH sensors to perform key lab activities from the Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
