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.
Solid Balls for Physics Experiments
Drilled balls are used for pendulum bobs or impact experiments, while our other balls are suitable for collision apparatus and density/volume experiments.
Miscellaneous Convenience Items

Complete Precision Air Table
The Complete Precision Air Table helps investigate low-friction collisions.
Air Track, Complete with Gliders
With the Air Track, students can investigate motion phenomena at a precise level of measurement.
Force Mechanism Trough
With the Force Mechanism Trough, students can research acceleration and the effect of gravity on a moving body by propelling steel balls or a wood block down an aluminum trough track.
Friction on an Inclined Plane
This set demonstrates a wide variety of physical science topics including the resolution of forces on an inclined plane, kinetic and potential energies, uniform and accelerated motions, and the friction between two surfaces.
Moment of Force Apparatus
The Moment of Force Apparatus contains everything needed to study principles of mass, levers, moments, forces, and equivalence.
Density/Slope Class Set
Educators can conduct a comprehensive array of density experiments with the density/slope class set.
Friction Block Felt with Hook
Friction blocks are useful for teaching the basics of force and motion.
