Description:
A rod is fixed on one end and the other is placed on a rotating needle. The bar is heated with a bunsen burner or butane torch and the needle will move slowly. After the bar is heated, it can be cooled rapidly by pouring cold water along the rod which causes the needle to move quickly to its original reading.
