"Mechanics Learning Activities"

Nearly frictionless, accurate, durable.

Great for displacement experiments and density measurements.

Study Acceleration and Velocity without Cart or Track

Air Strike™ desktop catapult can launch the included foam balls as far as 40 feet. Simple to assemble, no tools required. Features super grip suction cups and a pivoting launch base.

This backboard mounts directly to the Visual Scientifics base, enhancing video analysis.

Students investigate the properties of momentum and conservation of energy using this precision apparatus.

Students investigate and learn the principles of Hooke’s Law with this activity.

Teach students about two-dimensional collisons with this engaging activity, then use video analysis to analyze conservation of energy, and conversions between kinetic and potential energy.

Visual scientifics inclined plane and car.

Students apply concepts of conservation of energy to a loop setup, then consider the forces involved in roller coasters.

Discover the period of a simple pendulum, then use video analysis to investigate energy conservation and conversion.

Students measure acceleration due to gravity in this free-fall activity. Video analysis allows modeling of air resistance.

This inquiry-based activity allows students to investigate and verify projectile equations.

Essential accessories for the Visual Scientifics laboratory system.

This Starter Set is an effective and economical addition to any physics or physical science classroom.

Total length of rod and pulley is 10". The pulley has a diameter of 2", and is equipped with a metal low-friction bearing installed. The rod is made of durable aluminum, and the pulley is made of durable plastic.
