In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun. Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors. Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the sun, oceans heated by the sun, and Earth's weather systems sustained by the sun. Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago. Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. There are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other kits in our Physics line. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects. Developed with Greenpeace in Germany.

The design of the Spillnot uses the principles of Newtonian physics to keep the liquid in the container. The flexible handle and location of the suspension point above the center of the tray ensure that the forces on the liquid are always directed toward the supporting tray, even when the tray is in motion. Sideways forces usually responsible for spills are not transmitted to the tray by the flexible handle. Radial forces generated during swinging motion only force the liquid into the container more firmly. An inexpensive demonstration to intrigue students and challenge their analytical powers! Includes activity guide. 5" x 5" x 9". Weight: .25 lbs.

Partial Immersion, Double Scale Range -20/110 degrees C and 0/230 degrees F, Scale: 1 Degree C, 2 Degree F, 300mm Length Partial immersion is best for most applications. These thermometers are calibrated to read correctly when only 3" of the stem is immersed in the liquid being measured. Total immersion thermometers are calibrated for use when the entire liquid column is totally immersed in the substance being measured and should be used under those circumstances. All of our thermometers are made to SAMA specifications for ranges and accuracy. In addition, each of our thermometers has a number of extra quality features built into each one: REINFORCED BULBS, to prevent breakage, RING TOPS, for submersion, NON ROLL CAPS, SCALES PRINTED INTO THE GLASS, rather than on the surface so they never wear off.

Titration allows students to apply scientific concepts to discover what a titration is, how it is performed and how to determine when it is complete. Students see how this technique is applied in a number of real-world settings and become actively engaged in an experiment by using a scientific approach to determine the amount of vitamin C in a number of foods. Viewers learn about proper safety procedures as they watch a group of high school students gather, organize and present their data. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
