Abstract | The necessity to teach experimental physics in the pandemic period motivated the development of practices in which students may take measurements with instruments constructed by themselves. In this article, we present an experimental practice to approach Newton's law of cooling with a thermoscope (the earliest device for detecting changes in temperature, forerunner of the thermometer) constructed with household materials. Although the use of a non-calibrated thermoscope, the instrument presented several advantages, visual appeal, ease of handling, ease of data acquisition and good reproducibility. The students can take data, plot graphs, and verify if the Newton's law of cooling holds on the tested circumstances. (As Provided). |
