CENCO® Ballistic Pendulum — An Industry Standard
The CENCO Ballistic Pendulum is the industry standard for the investigation of momentum and energy.
Ward's® Potential and Kinetic Energy Tracks
This activity illustrates the relationships of mass, potential energy, and kinetic energy with marble races.
CENCO® Quantitative Centripetal Force Apparatus
The Quantitative Centripetal Force Apparatus' simple concept and robust construction guarantee reliable lab success.
Solid Balls for Physics Experiments
Drilled balls are used for pendulum bobs or impact experiments, while our other balls are suitable for collision apparatus and density/volume experiments.
CENCO® Rotational Platform
Teachers can present high-intensity demonstrations in rotational inertia or experiment with forces involved with a bicycle gyroscope with this Rotational Platform.
CENCO® Second Law of Motion Apparatus
Bring your physics equipment into the 21st century with the new and improved CENCO second law of motion apparatus.
Ward's® NYS Investigations Pressure Block Set
Corresponds to the NYS earth and pace science investigation: The sky is the limit.
Hooke’s Law University Apparatus
This apparatus verifies that that the amount by which a material body is deformed (the strain) is linearly related to the force causing the deformation (the stress).
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.
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.
