Applied Physics Learning Activities
Find nstruments 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.

Rolling Friction Car Kit
The rolling friction car kit provides four cars for exploration into the force of friction. Each car provides a set of different material wheels (wood, fabric, soft rubber, soft silicone) with a different coefficient of friction. By setting the cars in motion with equivalent velocities, one can qualitatively demonstrate the frictional properties of rolling without slipping.
