Acurite ® Temperature and
Humidity Model
Measures indoor temperature and
humidity. Displays not only the current
temperature and humidity, but also the
daily highs and lows for both. House icon
indicates the indoor comfort level by
displaying Low, High, or OK. Temperature
range: 32° F to 122° F (0° C to 50° C).
Humidity range: 20-95% RH. Magnetic
back. Requires one “AA” battery (not
included). Gray. 3-1⁄16" H x 2-1⁄2" W.
Sh. wt. 1.25 lbs.
SB48149M — $14.90
Thermometer
with Relative Humidity
An attractive, jumbo-dial thermometer,
easy to read at a distance. 12" diameter.
Features Fahrenheit, Celsius, and relative
humidity scales. Durable; hang indoors or
out. Plastic-covered face. Sh. wt. 0.48 kgs.
SB01068M — $28.00
Galileo Thermometers
This fascinating and functional instrument was
designed in the 16th century by Galileo Galilei,
who discovered that as a liquid’s temperature
increases, its buoyancy decreases. Each glass
sphere is precision crafted, filled, and calibrated
within 1 ⁄10° F. Accurate within ±4° F.
SB31448M 11" high. Sh. wt. 0.91 kgs. — $11.05
SB31402M 24" high. Sh. wt. 1.99 kgs. — $50.60
SciQuest ® Thermometer Wizardry
Have your class explore the science of temperature measurement by building three
different types of working thermometers using this lab kit. Allows student groups
to each build a Galileo-type thermometer with floating spheres, a vapor pressure
thermometer (as found in indoor/outdoor home thermometers), and a liquid expansion,
tube-like thermometer. Also includes a fourth experiment that builds the classic
Cartesian diver to demonstrate liquid pressure. Kit contains all supplies needed with
complete lab instructions. For four groups of 3-4 students each. Grades 4-8.
Sh. wt. 5.24 kgs.
SB35402M — $92.80
Acurite ® Galileo
Thermometer &
Barometer
Measure temperature and atmospheric
pressure just like Galileo Galilei!
Temperature is determined by the lowest
floating bulb. Glass thermometer can
measure temperatures ranging from 64°
F to 80° F. Atmospheric pressure can be
determined by the level of liquid in the
barometer. A low level of liquid in the
globe indicates high pressure and fair
weather, whereas a high level of liquid
predicts bad weather is on the way.
Frosted world map is imprinted on the
glass barometer globe. Thermometer
and barometer come together on a
wooden base. 9" H x 4-1⁄2" W x 3⁄4" D.
Sh. wt. 2.50 lbs.
SB48147M — $35.65
SciQuest ® Weather Mini Kit Instrument Pack
Includes one each of the following weather instruments: weather vane, anemometer,
barometer, hygrometer, and thermometer. Comes with instructions. Sh. wt. 1.36 kgs.
