PocketLab Thermo

PocketLab Thermo is a dual temperature probe device that wirelessly sends data to any computer, phone, tablet, or Chromebook. With dual temperature measurements, you can simultaneously compare two experiments, evaluate two engineering designs, or compare an experimental setup to a control setup.


Great Experiments with Two Temperature Measurements

  • Compare two different thermos designs and measure how they perform over time
  • Investigate the Albedo effect and measure how the sun heats up light and dark colored objects differently
  • Investigate how the mixing and heat transfer of cold water and hot water as the system reaches an equilibrium 
  • Design a scale-model house and compare the temperature inside the house to outside the house with a heat lamp shining on the setup
