Kit for the qualitative investigation of the heat conductivity of aluminum (extremely high thermal conductivity) and expanded polystyrene (very low thermal conductivity). Even at room temperature the varying material temperatures are evident to the touch. In the experiment ice cubes are placed on the plates. The ice cube on the seemingly colder aluminum plate melts much more quickly in 1 – 2 minutes), while there seems to be no melting at all of the ice cube on the seemingly warmer plastic plate. Two rubber rings which prevent the ice cubes from slipping off the plates complete the experiment kit.
Plate dimensions: approx. 95x95x13 mm³
