See the Buying Guide for this item's required, recommended, and additional accessories.
Product Summary
PASCO’s Stainless Steel Temperature Sensor offers a superior range, resolution and accuracy. It reports temperature (in °C, °F, or K) whether it is immersed in liquids, held in the air, or touching a solid surface.
Features
- Displays °C, °F and K
- Rugged Stainless Steel probe with easy grip handle
- High resolution (0.0025 °C) allows students to investigate the small but significant temperature changes produced by chemical reactions, convection currents and skin temperatures at various points on the body.
- Interchangeable probes – can be used with stainless steel, fast response or surface temperature probes. No recalibration required.
Applications
- Conduct general temperature experiments
- Measure rapid temperature changes found in endothermic-exothermic reactions
- Conduct environmental studies

Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Phase Change
Students will use a wireless temperature sensor to determine the effect of phase change on the temperature of a substance.
Temperature and Change
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to determine how temperature effects the time it takes for a sugar cube to dissolve or an antacid tablet to react with vinegar.
Cars and Heat
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to determine how the temperature inside a car parked in the sun compares to the temperature of the air outside the car.
Heat of Vaporization
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to develop a better understanding of the phase change from gas to liquid.
Feeling and Measuring Temperature
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to compare the results of measuring temperature to how the temperature feels.
Chemical Reactions
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to measure the change in temperature as two substances chemically react.
Mixing Water
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to observe that mixing hot and cold water results in a new, averaged temperature.
Energy Content of Food (PASPORT sensors)
Use a PASPORT temperature sensor to measure the change in temperature of water that is heated by burning samples of food and to compare the energy content of those samples. Note: This investigation has been updated for Wireless...
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to measure the heat generated in a model greenhouse by altering the types of material that light passes through.
Heating Land and Water
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to identify the property that allows some materials to heat up faster than others. Students will draw conclusions about water’s influence on a region’s climate.
Absolute Zero
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure and temperature sensors to experimentally determine a numerical value for absolute zero in degrees Celsius.
Microclimates
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to compare the temperature and humidity of various sites and determine the reason for any variations.
