Product Overview
The Ice Melt Demonstration is an experiment that shows the different rates at which materials can conduct heat. The kit is a phenomenon-based activity that will introduce concepts such as heat transfer and thermal conductivity. The kit contains one block made of aluminum and one block made of high-density foam and two O-rings. Ask your students which block is cooler to the touch and why? How is energy stored as heat transferred? Why do some materials transfer heat more efficiently than other materials. The Ice-Melt demonstration is a facinating way to introduce a discussion on thermal conductivity.
