Reference: H21
Category: Heat
Purpose: Nice demonstration of evaporative cooling.
Description: 1) Very large dippy dilly. Use water or ether on head (of dippy dilly). 2) Medium-sized dippy dilly. Use water or ether on head (of dippy dilly). 3) Medium-sized dippy dilly under Perspex case. Use water only on head (of dippy dilly).
