Durable stainless steel temperature sensor with a wide measurable range. For use with PASPORT Interfaces.
- 1x Stainless Steel Probe
- 2x 3" Tubing, Polyurethane
See the Buying Guide for this item's required, recommended, and additional accessories.
Product Summary
PASCO’s Stainless Steel Temperature Sensor offers a superior range, resolution and accuracy. It reports temperature (in °C, °F, or K) whether it is immersed in liquids, held in the air, or touching a solid surface.
Features
- Displays °C, °F and K
- Rugged Stainless Steel probe with easy grip handle
- High resolution (0.0025 °C) allows students to investigate the small but significant temperature changes produced by chemical reactions, convection currents and skin temperatures at various points on the body.
- Interchangeable probes – can be used with stainless steel, fast response or surface temperature probes. No recalibration required.
Applications
- Conduct general temperature experiments
- Measure rapid temperature changes found in endothermic-exothermic reactions
- Conduct environmental studies
What's Included
- 1x Stainless Steel Probe

Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the PASPORT Temperature Sensor.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Heating Land and Water
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to identify the property that allows some materials to heat up faster than others. Students will draw conclusions about water’s influence on a region’s climate.
Temperature versus Heat
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to explore the relationship between heat transfer and temperature changes in various substances.
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to measure the heat generated in a model greenhouse by altering the types of material that light passes through.
Cars and Heat
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to determine how the temperature inside a car parked in the sun compares to the temperature of the air outside the car.
Absolute Zero
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure and temperature sensors to experimentally determine a numerical value for absolute zero in degrees Celsius.
Freezing and Melting Water
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of water in different forms. Students will learn that water can exist in different forms and can be changed from one form to another by heating or cooling.
Hot and Cold
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to observe the property of temperature. Students will learn that this property can be measured using a thermometer or temperature sensor.
Chemical Reactions
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to measure the change in temperature as two substances chemically react.
Specific Heat of a Metal
In this lab, students will use stainless steel temperature sensors to compare the heat transferred by different metals to water.
Exploring Microclimates through Temperature (PASPORT sensors)
Using a PASPORT temperature sensor, students explore local microclimates by measuring temperature data around the school.
Feeling and Measuring Temperature
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to compare the results of measuring temperature to how the temperature feels.
Energy Content of Food (PASPORT sensors)
Use a PASPORT temperature sensor to measure the change in temperature of water that is heated by burning samples of food and to compare the energy content of those samples. Note: This investigation has been updated for Wireless...
