With this kit and two temperature sensors (not supplied with this kit), it is possible to compare the different speeds at which two bodies with the same mass and the same initial temperature dissipate heat. The dissipation is quicker when the exposed surface is bigger and it is decelerated if the body is protected by a heat-insulating material.
Cooling bend of two cylinders with the same size but made of different material: brass (red) and aluminum (green).
