Students kit Sun, heat and air
This kit contains equipment and resources for scientific experiments covering multiple disciplines to study the properties of the air around us and the nature of heat.
On the basis of a whole range of experiments, it is possible to learn about basic properties of air and the effects of air pressure.
In a further set of topics, experiments are performed to elucidate the concept of heat and how heat from the sun could be utilised.
