Practical Exercises in Heat: Being a Laboratory Course for Schools of Science and Colleges (Classic Reprint)

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.
