Conduction, Convection
and Radiation—
Activity-Stations Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students will eagerly “take the heat” as they discover for themselves the basic principles
of heat transfer with this series of four hands-on experiments.
• Conduction—Test the thermal conductivity of different materials, and compare the
results with known quantities.
• Convection of a Liquid—Investigate how temperature affects the density of a liquid,
and watch as convection currents are created when the hot and cold liquids rise
and sink, respectively.
• Convection of a Gas—Observe the dramatic effects of convection currents in air on
a lighted candle that will really make students use their “thinking caps.”
• Radiation—Explore heat transfer through radiation by measuring the temperature
increases for two types of sand exposed to a heat source.
Standard laboratory equipment and a light source are required, but not included.
Includes comprehensive background information, Teacher Notes and student
worksheets.
Complete for 12 student groups.

Heat and Temperature—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
This “series” of four hands-on experiments and one demonstration provides students
with an in-depth understanding of heat, temperature and heat energy transfer.
• Conductometer—Compare thermal conductivity of five different metals.
• Specific Heat—Investigate the concepts of specific heat and calorimetry by heating
metal samples and placing them into foam calorimeter cups filled with water.
• Radiation Cans—Study heat transfer by means of infrared radiation, and explore
the properties of heat-absorbing and heat-reflecting materials.
• Relative Humidity and Dew Point—Use a sling psychrometer to validate the significance
of evaporation as a heat-removal method.
• Ball and Ring Apparatus—Included as a teacher demonstration to show the expansion
and contraction of metals in hot and cold environments, respectively.
Versatile “activity stations” allow different student groups to work independently
to explore a specific aspect of heat energy. Detailed instructions and Teacher Notes
are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in groups of three. An infrared heat source is
required and available separately.
