Explore the principles of heat transfer and thermal radiation with the United Scientific® Radiation Can Kit. This hands-on science kit demonstrates how surface properties affect energy absorption and emission. It includes two identical screw-cap metal cans—one with a shiny metal surface and the other painted matte black—used to show how differently they absorb and radiate heat. Ideal for classroom experiments on conduction, convection, and radiation, the kit also includes a lamp stand with reflector (bulb not included), thermometer, and an easy-to-follow activity guide. Perfect for physics teachers and STEM educators looking to visually demonstrate the fundamentals of thermal energy transfer.
