Ice Melting Plates with Depression, 1 Aluminum Plate, 1 Plastic Foam Plate

SKU PH1120149
  • Kit includes 2 plates: aluminum, plastic foam, each plate is 9 X 9 X 1 cm
  • The aluminum plate that is cold to the touch melts the ice faster than the plastic foam plate, even though both have equivalent temperatures
  • A great demonstration for conductivity and heat transfer
  • Instruction manual provided

This elegantly simple kit challenges student's preconceived notions on concepts of heat and thermodynamics. The melting plates display quizzical properties when an ice cube melts on each plate. The aluminum plate that is cold to the touch melts the ice faster than the plastic foam plate, even though both have equivalent temperatures. A great demonstration for conductivity and heat transfer
