Mechanics Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalogue 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.
Moment of Force Apparatus
The Moment of Force Apparatus contains everything needed to study principles of mass, levers, moments, forces, and equivalence.
Newtonian Demonstration
The large size of the Newtonian Demonstration makes a big impression and helps explain the theory.
Density/Slope Class Set
Educators can conduct a comprehensive array of density experiments with the density/slope class set.
Density ID Set
A set of 15 samples of different materials used to challenge students to identify materials based on measurement of their density. For some specimens this will be straightforward. In other cases, it will lead to a discussion of uncertainty in measurements and data, and to an awareness that different materials may have nearly the same density.
Density Sample Set
Perfect for density experiments, use this set determine the mass and volume of each sample and graph the mass versus volume. The slope of the straight line that results is the density of the material.
Supertek® Economy Inertia Balance
The oscillatory platform can carry various masses and is free to oscillate in a horizontal plane under the restoring forces of two straight-blade spring supports.
