About This Product
Students push the probe into a solution or semi-solid to follow temperature changes in exothermic and endothermic reactions, heating and cooling curves, or freezing and boiling points. The hold button keeps a changing value on screen long enough to write it down, and the memory shows the extreme reached during a run.
