Physics Educational Materials
Avantor offers a complete catalog 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.
Steel Sphere Density Set
Great for teaching that density depends of both mass and volume, students can't seem to put these spheres down! Two steel spheres are great for teaching the skills of observation and deduction.
Gilley Induction Coil Set
An excellent set of materials for demonstrating electromagnetism and induced currents, the set includes two electromagnetic coils mounted on plastic saddle blocks, round and square iron cores, split round iron cores, a double core, and a card for showing lines of force. Set of two.
Collision Ball Apparatus
An easy, inexpensive way to effectively demonstrate conservation of energy and momentum
Equilibrium Tubes
A set of four borosilicate glass tubes of different shapes connected together to illustrate that liquids will stand at the same level.
Eisco Bicycle Wheel Gyroscope
Easy to use because of its smaller diameter and simple means of hanging and loading, this gyroscope brings precession diagrams to life.
Motor Generator
An excellent apparatus for showing the function of parts in an AC or DC motor and generator. Operates as either a shunt-wound or series motor. The unit is similar to the St. Louis Motor. Included with the motor are a powerful horseshoe magnet and an electromagnet.
Resistance Coils
A set of eight coils wound on individual plastic spools. Each coil has two binding posts.
Thermostat
This working model thermostat will demonstrate how differential expansion is used to control temperature. A bimetallic strip is used to open or close an electric circuit when temperature changes. The contacts will carry about three amperes. The unit can be operated with a 6 V lantern battery, low voltage power supply, or a blow dryer. Mounted on a metal base; approximately 15 cm high.
