  • Read more about Vernier Solar Thermal Exploration Kit (KW-STXK)

This Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. How you design the solar heating system will dramatically affect how quickly the water will heat and the maximum temperature the water will reach. The kit allows you to explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water.
