Physics Educational Materials
Avantor offers a complete catalog of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.

Optical Voice Link Kit
The Optical Voice Link Kit is the ideal introduction for those students first learning about the marvels, mysteries and science of light transmission through optical fiber.
Students will be fascinated by hearing their own voices, after it has been converted into light and then coupled into, through and out of an optical fiber. This kit is suitable for science projects, home projects, short audio fiber optic curriculums for schools, and inexpensive classroom demonstrations.
No prior fiber optics experience, special tools or training are needed for students to be able to build, use and enjoy the multiple applications of this kit.

K’NEX Education Intro to Simple Machines: Wheels/Axles & Inclined Planes
Investigate and experiment with 7 functioning Wheel & Axle and Inclined Plane models designed to demonstrate science and technology concepts.
Students can determine, through investigation, if the machine multiplies the force it applies to the resistance (load), if the machine changes the direction of the force they apply, and more.

Solar Bottle Boats Kit
Power three different solar vehicles — a solar speed boat, an air boat, and a surface submarine — using only the power of the sun. Build three vessels out of your recycled plastic beverage bottles then power them with the sun using the included 1/2 watt, waterproof solar panel. You can build a solar speed boat, an air boat, and a surface submarine. No batteries required.

The Stirling Design External Combustion Engine
Demonstrate the Stirling Design External Combustion Engine with our 18×11 cm working model. The Stirling engine currently is being re-examined as a practical source of power because of its adaptability to almost any fuel. First produced in the 1800’s as a non-electric fan and an automatic hot air water pump, the engine soon became obsolete due to its lack of sufficient power when compared to the newly developed combustion engine. Any fuel can be used with our model, but denatured alcohol is suggested for clean operation.
