About This Product
Placing an ice cube on each plate shows the difference between a thermal conductor and an insulator. Aluminium conducts heat well, so it feels cold to the touch and passes heat to the ice quickly. Plastic foam conducts heat poorly, so the ice on it melts more slowly even though both plates are at the same temperature. Pupils can time the melting, record results and explain why materials feel warm or cold, which supports lessons on heat transfer and the choice of materials. Alongside supply within India, the Ice Melting Plates is offered for export to Niger, Belarus, Grenada, Central African Republic and Lebanon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which plate melts the ice faster?
The aluminium plate, which is cold to the touch, melts the ice faster than the plastic foam plate, even though both have equivalent temperatures.
Q2. What size are the plates?
Each plate is 9 x 9 x 1 cm, with one aluminium plate and one foam plate.
