Master hands-on heat experiments that build essential laboratory skills for science students.
This practical course collects a comprehensive set of experiments and procedures for measuring temperature, studying thermal expansion, calorimetry, and the properties of vapours. It guides students through step-by-step setups, safe handling, and careful data interpretation, using apparatus commonly found in school and college labs.
- How to construct and calibrate thermometers and temperature sensors
- Experiments on expansion of solids, liquids, and gases with practical methods and data analysis
- Calorimetry, specific heat, and latent heat measurements with real-world lab techniques
- Investigation of vapor pressure, boiling points, and thermochemical processes
Ideal for students and instructors seeking a rigorous, classroom-ready laboratory resource that stays close to practical experimentation.
