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.
Force Mechanism Trough
With the Force Mechanism Trough, students can research acceleration and the effect of gravity on a moving body by propelling steel balls or a wood block down an aluminum trough track.
Gyroscope & Gimbal Cradle
This is an excellent, inexpensive apparatus for experiments in precession, inertial guidance, and gyroscopic stabilization.
Pulley Demonstration Set
A simpler version of the Advanced Pulley Demonstration Set, this model includes eight single pulleys and two double sheave pulleys in addition to EISCO ball bearing frictionless pulley.
Collision Track
This track includes everything needed to demonstrate three basic concepts of physics: acceleration, collision, and force.
Essential Physics Demo: Venturi Tube
Investigate the relationship between the speed of a fluid and its pressure
Pulley Cords
Ideal for small pulley systems, cord is available in a variety of colors, strengths, and lengths.
Fire Piston Demonstration Apparatus
Dramatically Demonstrate that Temperature Increases with Pressure
Assorted Plastic Pulleys
This package of plastic pulleys contains 25 each of 20, 30 and 40 mm diameter pulleys with 3.2 mm bores and one 10 mm pulley with a push fit to a 2 mm motor shaft.
