Learn about the triboelectric series, friction, induction and conduction! With this set, students can develop a model of what is happening to the electrons around the atoms in a conductor versus an insulator. Investigate the nature of the mobile subatomic particle called the electron and the forces created when an object has an unequal number of positive and negative charges. The guide included with this set encourages critical thinking in combining elements from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and can be used to teach with Common Core and National Next Generation Science Standards.

Made with micron-sized, iron-based particles distributed throughout, the astonishing, moldable Magnetic Thinking Putty takes on the properties of a magnet itself when placed in close contact with the included magnet. It’s perfect for science-loving kids, or for any adult that loves intelligent play! Use the magnet to do the “snake charmer” trick. Or leave the magnet on your ball of putty and watch it completely engulf the magnet in minutes! What can you do with it? The possibilities are endless!
• Comes with a Teacher’s Guide
• Putty (91 g/3.21 oz) comes with a Neodymium cube magnet in storage tin

If you’ve ever stood between 2 mirrors facing each other, like in a hair salon, you’re familiar with the seemingly endless line of images seen in the mirrors. The Infinity Mirror recreates this effect. It is just like an ordinary mirror when the built-in mirror lights are off, and the room lights are on. However, with the mirror lights turned on in a darkened room, the effects change dramatically! This is a highly effective way to teach the law of reflection and capture students’ excitement about light and optics.

Use the Spectroscope for quantitative examination of the spectral composition of white light and radiant bodies. It is comprised of a metal draw-out tube of 0.75″ (20 mm) Dia. with an adjustable slit at one end. The light passing through this slit falls on the prism elements and breaks up into a spectrum. This can be viewed through an eyepiece at the other end of the tube.
• Comes with a Teacher’s Guide
• Supplied in a velvet-lined wooden box

This apparatus consists of 2 brass rods with insulated handles. One of the rods has a ring and the other has a ball of approximate diameter 1″ (25 mm), attached at the end. The brass ball passes through the ring when both are at room temperature, but when the ball is heated it expands and cannot pass through the ring, demonstrating the expansion and contraction of metals.

Use this device to demonstrate the phenomenon of thermal convection in liquids caused by temperature variation. It consists of a rectangular-shaped borosilicate glass tube, 6″ (150 mm) W x 8.25″ (150 mm) H, with a funnel-shaped opening at the top for filling liquids. When this tube is filled with water and heated at 1 corner after adding a dye, potassium permanganate crystals, saw dust, or aluminum powder, the movement of colors or particles illustrates the formation of convection currents.

This item is also known as a Convection Box or a Ventilation Apparatus. Use it for demonstrating the phenomenon of convection in air and the principle of room ventilation. It consists of an enameled metal box 4″ (100 mm) W x 8″ (200 mm) L x 4″ (100 mm) H, having a sliding glass door and 2 glass chimneys. When the included tea light candle is placed under 1 chimney and a smoldering tape or parchment paper is placed underneath the other chimney, the flow pattern of smoke dramatically illustrates the formation of convection currents. Tape or parchment paper are not supplied.

This heat pack contains a super saturated solution of water and sodium acetate. Snapping the metal disc creates an exothermic chain reaction, causing the solution to crystallize. Heat packs can be recharged back to the liquid state by boiling in water for 10-15 minutes and allowing to slowly cool. Excellent for teaching about chemical reactions and introducing thermodynamics.

These colliding steel spheres will help demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Energy, and show students how mechanical systems convert energy to heat. When objects collide, the kinetic energy transforms into sound, heat, and kinetic energy in the opposing direction. These steel spheres are a fantastic way to show kids how energy “loss” is actually energy being released as heat! When these two (2) 0.5 lb steel spheres are smashed together, the kinetic energy transforms into enough heat to burn a hole through a piece of paper! The spheres are an excellent way to demonstrate energy transformation! For physics experiments and demonstrations such as kinetic, density, and volume measurements, pendulum bob, potential energy and conservation experiments, ballistics, etc.
