Experiments cover Earth Science, Life Science and Physical Science

A complete photogate system for use with Visual Scientifics systems - or any lab experiment requiring photogates.

These springs are an oversized demonstration of Hooke's Law.

Investigate the power of simple machines.

The versatile Loop Track helps students learn about acceleration and conservation of energy.

Investigate the effect of a stop on a pendulum's period and displacement.

The Electric Circuits Kit has everything needed to investigate simple, series, and parallel circuits, Ohm’s Law, and resistivity.

With the Atomic Structure Apparatus, a large manipulative helps students visualize atomic structure.

Mounted on molded plastic base, the unit consists of a base into the top of which may be screwed one of a set of four vases of differing shapes. An aperture in the bottom has a thin rubber diaphragm across it, bearing upon the short arm of the lever pointer. A moveable index on the vertical rod enables the height of water in vases to be set at same level. The apparatus is mounted on moulded plastic base that measures 25 x 17.5cm. The experiment is performed by screwing in each vase, in turn, and filling with water to the same level. It will be seen that the given height of water will result in the same deflection of pointer whatever shape of the vase.

Hands-on investigation even explores light separation.
