Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Calorimetry Cups (6).
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Specific Heat
Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the identity of a metal based on its specific heat capacity.
Heat of Fusion
In this lab, students will use a fast response temperature sensor and calorimetry to determine the heat of fusion for water.
Investigating Specific Heat
In this lab, students explore specific heat by measuring the temperatures of water and sand under an incandescent bulb. Then, they use a calorimeter to precisely measure the specific heat of each.
Building a Better Hand Warmer
Students use a temperature sensor to determine the heat of solution of a number of ionic compounds and propose a practical hand warmer design.
