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.
Vernier® Spirometer Flow Head
An extra flow head eliminates the need for equipment downtime while sterilizing an original flow head. The flow head consists of a polycarbonate outer body with a stainless-steel inner mesh.
