Description:
The materials supplied allow eight groups of students to conduct the experiments simultaneously. If all subexperiments are conducted in the sequence below, they can be used to complement a learning unit on evaporation heat and “evaporative cooling." This provides a good basis for further study of general thermodynamics down to the particle level.
The experiment comprises two subexperiments:
• Why do you freeze in wet clothing?
• How does a wet cotton pad cool you?
Notes:
• Observe the safety information in the instructions as well as the applicable safety guidelines for your school.
• All materials mentioned in the instructions will have to be purchased directly from commercial sources.
