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.

Puck Set
Ideal for studying collisions in two dimensions, these pucks can be supported on plastic beads or levitated with air from the balloons to reduce friction. Use on any smooth, flat surface. The pucks measure 10 cm in diameter, and one puck is twice the mass of the other two.
