Peltier Power: Controlling Heat and Cold

Service Description

This hands-on course explores the science of temperature and energy transfer using circuits, heat, and cooling systems. Students will experiment with batteries, switches, Peltiers, heat sinks, and thermometers, discovering how electricity can create both heating and cooling effects. Through guided experiments, learners will: • Build circuits that power Peltier devices to generate hot and cold surfaces. • Use a heat gun thermometer to measure and track temperature changes. • Experiment with ice cubes, fire, and heat sinks to study how energy moves and transfers between materials. • Investigate real-world applications of Peltiers, from mini fridges and coolers to computer processors and space tech.
