Compare How Different Gear Configurations Function

The Moment of Force Apparatus contains everything needed to study principles of mass, levers, moments, forces, and equivalence.

The large size of the Newtonian Demonstration makes a big impression and helps explain the theory.

Present a Wide Variety of Standard Force and Motion Activities.

Educators can conduct a comprehensive array of density experiments with the density/slope class 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.

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.

Show the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle.

Easily Explain Rotational Inertia

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.

The Centripetal Force Kit is inexpensive and effective.

This set features a handy, economical selection of density cubes.

The Density Identification Set is ideal for an investigation lab.
