The Coriolis wheel is used to demonstrate that any free-moving object will be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere, regardless of its initial direction.
A polar map of the Earth on the disk helps students relate this important concept to its effect on weather, ocean currents and space navigation. The Foucault Pendulum, made to attach to the Coriolis wheel, demonstrates that a free swinging pendulum will continue to oscillate in the same plane, in spite of the fact that it is on a rotating disk. Includes: study guide.
