Study heat and light with the simplest of materials - a black can, a silver or white can and a connecting copper bar.
Measure the temperature inside dark and shiny bright cans to determine the different ways light and heat are absorbed and radiated.
Fill both cans with water - one with hot, one with cold - and connect them with the included energy transfer bar. Observe how the temperature of the water changes.
One of the stoppers has two bores - one for the connecting bar and one for a slender thermometer. Alternatively, a infrared detector or a liquid crystal thermometer may also be used to measure and record changes in temperature.
