Electricity/Magnetism 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.
Magnetic Exploration
Magnetic wand, Use this wand with our magnetic marbles or other magnetized items or pick up those paper clips you just dropped. It has many uses and is fun to watch in action.

Electric Plume
Graphically illustrate the fact that like charges repel each other.
The multi-colored ribbons are connected to a suction cup that sits on top of a Van de Graaff generator. As the generator operates, the ribbons accumulate a charge and stand on end.

Conductivity Indicator Tester
Nine level conductivity meter shows the relative conductivity/resistance of liquids and solids. As the conductivity of the tested material increases, the number of glowing red LEDs will increase to a maximum of 8, which indicates a very good conductor. There will be zero glowing red LEDs if the material has a very low electrical conductivity (is a good insulator).
