4C 30.10 - Boiling Point of H2O at Reduced Pressure:

Demonstrates: Boiling point changes as pressure changes.

Description: Steam is captured in a condensation flask. A vacuum hand pump causes a decrease in temperature that correlates to the reduced pressure.

4C 31.30 - Drinking Birds:

Demonstrates: Vapor pressure changes due to temperature changes.

Description: Birds "drink" as temperature changes cause liquid to fill the evacuated space.

4C 32.10 - Relative Humidity:

Demonstrates: Affect of humidity on pressure.

Description: Two versions are available. Dew point method creates condensation on the outside of a steel beaker. The wet bulb method measures the temperature of humidified air.

4C 33.50 - Franklin's Palm Glass:

Demonstrates: Change of State.

Description: When one bulb is held in your hand body heat causes the volatile liquid inside to boil.

4C 50.10 - Thermal Models:

Demonstrates: Pressure, temperature and volume.

Description: A three dimension graph for H2O and CO2.
