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.

Set of six polystyrene calorimeter cups for beginning calorimetry.

Specific Heat Set

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

Wireless Temperature Sensor with Display

The Wireless Temperature Sensor with display is a general-purpose sensor useful in many science labs. With a rugged, water resistant design and rechargeable lithium ion battery, students can get spot reads from the display or auto collect data to a device to study trends.

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, 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.
