You provide the fast moving air, and we’ll provide the rest! With
an electric leaf blower or vacuum cleaner (exhaust mode), you
can easily demonstrate the unexpected effects of low air pressure.
A fast stream of air across the top of this fascinating device
reduces air pressure in the tube. Then, ambient
air pressure will propel ping pong balls upward, in
apparent defiance of gravity! Students at all levels
will marvel!

Envirobond
Envirobond is a unique long chain polymer that is hydrocarbon
specific, i.e., it will only absorb and molecularly bond with
hydrocarbons while repelling any water (no mixing required).
Works with lubricating oils, diesel, gasoline, etc. as well as
vegetable oil. It is particularly effective with Marvel® Mystery
Oil (ENV-105) for classroom demonstrations.

plastic accessories; then wait as he melts into a puddle of goo.
This silicone-based bouncing putty has properties of a solid as
well as a liquid, and it will slowly ooze to take the shape of
its container. The good news is that it can be rebuilt into a
snowman over and over again, without the risk of frostbite!

With this hand-cranked box, science becomes music to your
ears! Movable pins can be positioned on a rotating disk. When
you turn the handle the pins hit a cam, which strikes tuned
metal teeth, producing the desired melody. The box is fully
adjustable and capable of playing chords as well as single notes.
Your students can make their own music or even recreate old
favorites! The device is ideal for cultivating curiosity and interest
in the mechanisms and qualities of sound, from a scientific point
of view. The ability to view the moving parts also allows for
investigations into the workings of gears, cams, and levers. The
kit comes complete with a full color, student-friendly 22-page
booklet that explains the principles of sound. Through classroom
experiments, students can use the
music box and booklet to learn
about vibration, resonance,
frequency, amplitude and
more. Ages 7-14.

The principle behind the Hovercraft's
levitation is that when the air is released
from the balloon, it hits the ground
and rushes outward in all directions.
The air flowing from the balloon
through the holes forms a layer of air
between the Hovercraft and the table. This
reduces the friction (the resistance that occurs
when two objects rub against each other) that
would have existed if the Hovercraft rested
directly on the table. With less friction, your
Hovercraft scoots across the table.
This kit includes everything you need to make
your own balloon Hovercrafts, including: one dozen
pre-drilled film canisters, one dozen balloons, one
dozen CDs, one strip of poster putty, and assembly
instructions. Instructions can also be seen in our
short video.

Fresnel Lens
Traditionally used to focus the beam in lighthouse lamps, a Fresnel lens replaces the curved surface of a
conventional lens with a series of small, narrow concentric grooves on its surface. Compared to conventional,
bulky lenses, our plastic Fresnel lens is thinner, lighter, and flatter and captures more oblique light from the
source. This Fresnel lens is perfect for magnifying images. Or, used in conjunction with our book, Physics
Demonstration Apparatus (page 88), you can easily build a device that will melt pennies in as little as 30 seconds!

Aerogel
Nanotechnology is changing the world. Aerogel, also known as
“Frozen Smoke,” is a truly space-age material, with the lowest
bulk density of any known solid on Earth. Silica aerogel contains
particles of 2 to 5 nm in diameter. It is 99% air, but exhibits
extraordinary insulation and structural properties, and therefore
holds 15 entries in the Guinness Book of Records. You can light a
gas torch on one side and it won’t get hot enough to light a match
sitting on the other side! Some chipping around edges is normal.
Classic Silica™ aerogel disc, 27 mm diameter x 7 mm height.
Note: While this material is amazing, the properties that make it
amazing also make it inherently fragile. It is intended for adult handling.

in the sedimentary limestone and sandstone of the Navajan
region of Spain.
Common tests to distinguish iron pyrite from gold:
• Gold does not form a cubic crystal
• Gold is very soft and will bend or break when poked
with a straight pin; the much harder pyrite will not.
• Gold is much heavier than pyrite.
• Gold will flatten when hit with a hammer, while
pyrite will shatter.
Graphite
From President Franklin Pierce’s NH Mine
Students will be fascinated by the idea of writing with a piece
of mineral. And, use a battery, wire, and bulb to show that
graphite conducts electricity. Contains approximately one
pound of graphite and may contain some rock matrix.

Fossil Sorting Kit
Each 2 pound bag typically contains more than 100
assorted fossils and also includes a sorting guide.
This kit is perfect for introducing students to various
organisms that existed over 400 million years ago! A
sorting guide is included with each bag that includes a
picture of many of the fossils along with information
about their approximate age and modern relatives.
Kit typically contains fossilized ammonites, trilobites,
coral, gastropods, and at least four others. While we do
our best, we cannot guarantee exactly which fossils or how
many of each will be in each package.

Pump Rocket
The world’s safest high-flying rocket! Different from other
air-powered rockets, this foam rocket is launched directly
from the pump, making it easy and accurate to aim in a safe
direction. But don’t be fooled by its super-soft foam nose cone
- this rocket can launch over 150 feet! Makes a great way to
explore rockets safely with young children or Newton’s laws
with high school students! Includes 2 rockets and the pump.
RKT-400
The principle behind the
Hovercraft's levitation is that
when the air is released from
the balloon, it hits the ground and
rushes outward in all directions. The
air flowing from the balloon through
the holes forms a layer of air between
the Hovercraft and the table. This
reduces the friction (the resistance that
occurs when two objects rub against
each other) that would have existed if
the Hovercraft rested directly on the table.
With less friction, your Hovercraft scoots across the table.
This kit includes everything you need to make your own balloon
Hovercrafts, including: one dozen pre-drilled film canisters, one
dozen balloons, one dozen CDs, one strip of poster
putty, and assembly instructions. Instructions can

low pressure area in the center). The Zero Blaster's Fog Fluid
is similar to the liquid that Hollywood uses in the movies to
make safe special effects fog. Each fog ring is a cool cloud that
quickly disappears at room temperature, leaving no trace behind.
Because it is not smoke, it does not set off smoke detectors.
You'll be mesmerized by the myriad shapes you'll discover in
every fog ring you create.

Gas Solubility Demonstration
“The Baby Bottle Experiment”
An unopened can of soda feels very solid because
more than 3 volumes of dissolved carbon dioxide
gas create a pressure of about 55 PSI above the
liquid. This is about 4 times atmospheric pressure.
Fill a baby bottle with soda, secure with a rubber
nipple without a hole, and shake. Watch the nipple
expand as the gas comes out of solution. Amazing
to see! Great for teaching Henry’s Law of Partial
Pressures. Includes baby bottle, two rubber nipples
without holes, and instructions. Designs may vary.
Great for
Boyle’s Law
experiments!
Hydraulic/Pneumatic
Apparatus
Water or air can be used with a small amount of force to lift
objects. This sturdy apparatus allows students to observe
differences between hydraulic (liquid) and pneumatic (gas)
systems. By varying the input syringes, different mechanical
advantages can be observed. The force required is related to the
size of the syringe. Includes: base unit with 60 cc syringe, three
input syringes (3 cc, 12 cc, and 20 cc), shut off valve, connecting
tubing with one-way valves, and instructions with suggested
experiments.

Understanding Pressure Kit
How can we comprehend the great pressure of the earth's
atmosphere? Our Atmospheric Pressure Bar makes this
possible. With a weight of just over 10 Newtons, and with
a square centimeter cross section, it exerts pressure on your
hand equal to a normal day's atmospheric pressure at sea
level (1 atm). Three pads included can spread the force over
larger areas, helping students distinguish between force and
pressure. Expressed in units besides one atmosphere, this
bar exerts 101.3 kiloPascals or 10.13N/cm2 , 760 torr, 1013
millibars, and 1.013 bars of pressure. Yes, this "bar" exerts
one bar (a metric unit) of pressure. Samples illustrating
1 millibar, 1 torr, and 1 Pascal are included, as well as

Some
of

the ultimate in personal

from
the

of
helicopter technology, this
spaceman makes science fiction a reality. The coaxial
contra-rotating lift system provides many advantages
over conventional helicopter design. Instead of a tail rotor to
overcome the angular momentum effects created by engine torque,
the two rotors spin in opposite directions (canceling out the effects)
to provide lift. Incredibly easy to fly, our spaceman is recommended
for indoor use only. Operates on an internal rechargeable battery
charged by conventional AA batteries (not included).

Forever Periodic Table
The Forever Periodic Table is a three-dimensional flexible
sculpture designed by Roy Alexander and illustrated by
Theodore Gray. This arrangement deals with the fundamental
problem of gaps in the traditional layout of the periodic
table by wrapping the transition metals and the lanthanides/
actinides into loops, so all the elements that are supposed to be
next to each other actually are next to each other. You can read
it as a complete spiral loop through all the elements without
any gaps. Printed on top-grade, heavy paper printed on both

When water is added to this granular white powder, the polymer instantly

Great for showing that there is no law of conservation of volume! This

Stephen Spielberg’s mini-series, Band of Brothers and is becoming
popular as an artificial base for skiers. Its MSDS is the same as
for sodium polyacrylate, the “diaper” polymer! This is a great

Sodium Polyacrylate
Aqua Keep
This fine white powder instantly turns liquid water into a slushlike solid substance. Technically speaking, the polymer absorbs
from 500 to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Simply add
table salt to reverse the reaction. Safe and amazing — your
students will love it!

Water Gel Crystals
“Ghost Crystals”
These clear, colorless, super-absorbent polyacrylamide crystals
absorb many hundreds of times their own weight when placed
in water and become virtually invisible because they have the
same index of refraction as water. Additionally, for different
effects, they can easily be dyed with ordinary food coloring.

Moon Sand
Moon Sand is sand that feels like regular sand, molds like dough, yet never
dries out. Use it again and again. The sand can be squished, carved, molded,
or sculpted into any shape. Once a sculpture is created, just bake the sand and
it will keep its shape forever. When you tire of the masterpiece, warm it and
it can be crumbled back to sand. The sand never hardens and never dries out.
Have your students design their own experiments. Is Moon Sand hydrophilic,
or hydrophobic? Sold by the pound.

Zack’s Alligator
by Shirley Mozelle
“The famous Gro-Beast Alligator can
generate enough interest to get a perpetually
tardy student rushing to my room to see how
much it grew since the previous class!”
-Roger C., Virginia Beach, VA
Have your students make the literature/science
AND math connection with our grow beast
alligator children’s book, Zack’s Alligator. In this
beautifully illustrated book, all the fun begins for
Zack (and your students!) when a small package
arrives in the mail. Contained within is a small
alligator key chain and a note from Zack’s uncle.
Following his uncle’s instructions, Zack places his
key chain in the sink and WOW! a huge, fun-loving alligator emerges!
Have your class chart the growth of their own growing alligator. This
book is a great way to begin some terrific science in your classroom!
BK-200 BK-205 Water Gel Spikes

Hydrophilic Water Gel
Place these hard crystals in water and they expand about 300 times, producing gel-like spheres.
Students love to feel the slippery, spherical gel! The Regular size starts with a diameter of
about 2.0 mm and ends with a diameter of about 14.0 mm. Ask students to determine the
change in volume, using V = 4/3 πr3. Great for starting seeds and growing plants so that the
roots can be seen! Can be colored using food coloring. The polymer is similar to our superabsorbent, polyacrylamide polymer (GB-5B and GB-3) and can be dried and reused.

HS-7 About Continuous Beam Lasers:
Many green lasers blink on and off rapidly, often faster than the eye can
perceive. This can impact the results of some experiments. Continuous
beam lasers do not blink, resulting in a higher perceived brightness and
requiring less reflective particles (dust or mist) to see the beam in the
air. (All lasers require some reflective particles to be visible in air.)

Green Laser (<5 mW)
All Class IIIa Lasers are less than 5 mW, the question is how much less? Our LSR-200 is almost
5 (4.95) mW making it one of the brightest on the market.
These green lasers are perfect for applications where the continuous beam must be observed,
such as when demonstrating lenses, prisms or mirrors, or in long distance applications. The
bright green beam is especially effective when observed in water. Simply direct the beam through
the flat glass side of an aquarium filled with water. Add a few milliliters of milk to clearly observe
the beam. Great for large group demonstrations. As this is a true
laser, please exercise care when using this fantastic and educational
device. Class IIIa <5 mW 532nm. Uses 2 AAA batteries, included.

Zoetrope
Strobotop Light Phase Animator
The Zoetrope is the best known of several animation toys
which were invented in the 19th century, a time when people
first discovered ways to make still pictures move. The Zoetrope
is known as “the wheel of life”. When you place a strip of
drawings inside the Zoetrope's drum, spin it, and look through
the slots, you will see the images come to life. Of course, they
are not really alive. They only appear to move. This illusion of
motion depends on two things; persistence of vision and the
Phi phenomenon.
Spin the Stobotop™, aim your LightPhaser at it, and adjust the
dial. Suddenly, the blurring images snap into focus and spring
to life before your eyes! Animals leap and gallop. Children run
and play. Kaleidoscopic patterns move and change. Illustrates
the principals of animation and how the mind perceives motion
pictures! Kit and Booster Pack include 12 colorful Strobodisks™
and 6 draw-your-own Strobodisks™. Requires 4 AAA batteries.

spinning top patterns, complete with fun explanations of
how they create their illusions.
This amazing ring seems to grow or shrink
simply by turning it. Under good light, view
the edge of the ring. Turn it one way, and
it appears to grow. Turn it the other way
and it appears to shrink! The ring’s unusual
“braided” pattern and highly polished golden
surface create these amazing properties. A
wonderful illusion that you can easily carry
with you, on a finger, in a pocket, or a chain
around your neck. Makes a great gift. One

Nature “Sun” Print Paper
Nature Print Paper produces beautiful, permanent prints from
natural and man-made materials. This unique light-sensitive
paper exposes in direct sunlight to create white on blue prints.
Flat objects such as leaves, photo negatives, coins, cut-outs, lace,
etc., when placed on the paper, block the sun and provide the
subject for the print. Exposure time is approximately 2-3 minutes
(depending on the level of sunlight), then develop in water in
seconds. It’s fast, safe and leaves no mess. Nature Print Paper
is great for any age group and includes full, simple instructions.
Each package contains 40 sheets of 12.7 cm x 17.8 cm (5" x 7")

Too much exposure
to Ultraviolet A can
result in the same
damage as UV-B,
but to a lesser
degree.
Ultraviolet B light is needed
for Vitamin D synthesis in
our body, but is a major cause
of reddening of the skin,
sunburn, skin cancer, cataracts,
suppression of the immune
system, and photo-aging.
Ultraviolet C light is
extremely dangerous,

Tube A is open on both ends. When
it is hit, the vibration of the tube
causes the air column to resonate
with a certain frequency and
a tone is produced. Notice the
half sine waves which represent
pressure variations inside the
tube. Tube B is open on both
ends, but is twice as long as Tube
A. It produces a sound that is

Singing Pipe
This heavy, black iron pipe (about 4 pounds) has a
metal alloy screen fitted into one end. By heating
the screen with a flame from a burner for about 10
seconds, the vertical pipe will produce a loud tone
for as much as 30 seconds. The noise is produced
because certain frequencies of sound from the
turbulent flow of heated air resonate within the
tube cavity. Turning the tube horizontally disrupts
the flow of air and the sound stops. A matched pair
will produce a clearly audible beat frequency. Full

the hole in the center get larger or smaller? Place in ice water and watch it
contract. Contains a flat 20 x 28 cm (8" x 11") flat piece with a hole cut out of
the center and a round piece to fill the hole. Sometimes the round piece fits in
the hole and sometimes not. All students are amazed to observe the size change
and advanced students can calculate its coefficient of expansion. Fantastic for
introducing the engineering problems of expansion and contraction!

Secret™
Give this top a spin and watch it move for hours without
stopping. Secret Revealed: The top contains a small
magnet. When this magnet moves past the center of its
base, the top’s spinning magnetic field induces a current
in a coil, which closes a switch, allowing a battery to
momentarily energize a small electromagnet. The top
increases its rate of spin and moves away from the center
of the base. Top: 2.5 cm (1.0 in), Base: 8.0 cm (3.1") Note:

Rattlebacks
PhysicsQuest 2012
A Rattleback is a half-ellipsoid object carved so that it will
spin in only one direction. Accidentally discovered by
archaeologists, this curious object was first dubbed a celt
stone, named after the prehistoric axes and adzes they were
studying. Idly spinning one of these ancient tools on the table,
these scientists must have been surprised to discover that the
seemingly normal piece of carved stone would spin freely in
only one direction. ca. 10 cm (4") long, 2 cm (.8") wide.
The American Physical Society adds to its highly successful
PhysicsQuest series with this new kit intended for middle school
classrooms. Students will learn about the physics of fluid
dynamics as they follow Spectra and her gang who use their
knowledge of fluid motion to stop the next evil villain at Tesla
Jr. High. Why do Brazil nuts always rise to the top in a container
of mixed nuts, and why do toys in the cereal box always descend
to the bottom? Why does ketchup flow faster when you hit the
bottle? Why are smoke rings always generated in a circle? These
experiments are intended to be completed in small groups in a
classroom, homeschool or after school setting. Each kit contains
a resource book and most of the materials needed to complete
each experiment.

“One of my favorite items to use for museum activities and outreaches are the
Balancing Birds. These strike wonder in adults and children alike and make a great
‘pull-in’ demonstration! People do a double take then stop at the activity station to
figure out exactly how you are balancing it on your finger (or pencil eraser, nose, chin,

Green Energy
Mova Rotating
Globe
A fuel cell produces bubbles of gas from water. This gas can
be used to power a model car. Energy from two AA batteries
is used to break apart water molecules into hydrogen and
oxygen. When the hydrogen and oxygen are allowed to
reform water molecules within a fuel cell, electricity is
produced. Easy to use, this car demonstrates hydrogen as an
alternative energy source for automobiles. (2 AA batteries
and 1 liter of distilled water not included.) Age 10+
This globe continuously
rotates without the
need of an energy
source
other
than
the ambient light of
your home or office.
Developed
over
the
course of six years by a
team of physicists, the globe
operates in apparent violation
of the laws of thermodynamics.
An enclosed photocell uses room
light to power an internal drive
that interacts with the earth's
magnetic field to spin the globe.
The globe is suspended in a clear
liquid inside of a clear shell
allowing a mere .1 microwatts of
energy to cause rotation. The globe
continues to spin even when held in your hand. Avoid long exposure
to direct sunlight. A three-prong acrylic base is included. 11.5 cm
(4.5") dia. Includes a copy of the patent with full explanation.
Available in Classic Blue-Green only.

Electric Paint Pen (10ml)
Create your own circuits without using wires! Our Electric Paint Pen provides a great
platform for discovering, playing, repairing and designing electronics. Electric Paint can be
used as both a liquid wire and a conductive adhesive. Using this handy pen allows you to
draw circuits and attach small components to your projects. Works great on many materials
including paper, plastic, textiles and conventional electronics (but not skin!). The paint dries
quickly at room temperature. Once dry, you can even overlap the paint and the two layers
won’t interact allowing you to overlap circuits! Washable and nontoxic.

Hand-Powered Flashlight
Change kinetic energy from your hand into light energy.
This hand-held “dynamo” is easily visible. It clearly
demonstrates how electrical energy can be produced by
moving an electrical conductor through a magnetic field -- a
discovery made by Michael Faraday in 1831.
This unit has a built in non-rechargeable, non-replaceable
battery that can provide light for many hours showing the
efficiency of modern LED lighting technology. However,
no batteries are ever required - no bulbs to replace. This is
a great safety item. Place one in your car, next to your bed
or in your tool box and you will always have light when you
need it without the worry of discovering dead batteries!

cow might ingest. This prevents damage to a
cow’s stomach, or “Hardware Disease”.
Cow Magnet
This standard Alnico cow magnet
is stronger than bar magnets of
equal size. Cow magnets have a
pole at each end and are perfect for a
3-D demonstration of magnetic fields.
Simply put the cow magnet into a test
tube, then lower the test tube into a clear
16-oz. soda bottle filled with mineral oil
(or glycerin) and iron filings. Shake the
bottle, and watch the iron filings line up all
the way around the magnet!
Buzzing
Stunt Magnets
Toss the pair of buzzing magnets into the air! As they
collide and fall, they produce a screaming, clattering sound,
much like a cicada or high voltage sparking. It is amazing!
Or, place them both on a low friction surface about 15 cm
apart. As you turn one, the other will turn. If you spin one
fast, you can observe coupling with the other.

Green
The Photon Microlights (page 58) are placed in a ring
on top of a sheet of Phosphorescent Vinyl (page 57).
Note how the Ultraviolet light excites the Vinyl to
such a degree that its light appears green (the Vinyl's
excited state), rather than violet. Only the White,
Ultraviolet, and Blue lights excite the Vinyl enough
to leave a glow when they are shut off. The Red,
Orange, Yellow, and Green lights do not excite the
Vinyl. What other experiments can you come up
with to demonstrate Einstein's Photoelectric Effect?
Help students manage the amount of time
they are out of the classroom with this
awesome tool. Time can only be set when the
Hall Pass is standing in the Teacher Monitor
Unit. The same time is kept on both the
Hall Pass and the Teacher Monitor Unit, so
students cannot reset the Hall Pass once it is
removed from the Monitor. Time’s Up
warning lights and an alarm aid the
students in keeping their time away
from the classroom to a minimum.
The Teacher Monitor Unit has a
memory function for the past three

good weather is on its way. This hand blown glass
bulb contains trapped air that expands and contracts
with changes in atmospheric pressure. Since 1643,
many seamen have used this simple water barometer
to predict the weather. ~15 cm (6") tall.

Einstein Relatively Strong Mints
In Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, he describes
gravity as a geometric property of space and time,
commonly referred to as spacetime. This is not to be
confused with dining, which is a combination of meals and
time, commonly known as mealtime. Now, lunchtime and
dinnertime can sometimes have an adverse impact on one's
breath, making it difficult to have a goodtime and leading
to a lot of alonetime. And that's where Einstein's Relatively
Strong Mints come in. After mealtime, snacktime, or
anytime, eat one or two of these tasty mints and your
breath will be fresh in notime. Before you know it, you'll
be having a goodtime and looking forward to bedtime.
Approx. 70 mints in a pocket-sized, collectible tin.

Periodic Quest Card Game
Forever Periodic Table
Consists of 118 cards, each representing one element on
the Periodic Table of Elements. It converts a core science
subject matter into simple but exciting playing card games,
bringing both play value and educational value to the
players. These colorful paper based cards are suitable
and attractive to players of all ages. However the subject
matter will be more useful for players of age 8 years and
above. Winner of multiple awards for excellence.
PER-280
The Forever Periodic Table is a three-dimensional flexible sculpture
designed by Roy Alexander and illustrated by Theodore Gray. This
arrangement deals with the fundamental problem of gaps in the
traditional layout of the periodic table by wrapping the transition
metals and the lanthanides/actinides into loops, so all the elements
that are supposed to be next to each other actually are next to each
other. You can read it as a complete spiral loop through all the
elements without any gaps. Printed on top-grade, heavy paper
printed on both sides. Includes detailed instructions for assembly.
14" x 16" x 18" (35cm x 40cm x 45cm).

Ultralight Two Car Kit
Stretch the limits! This ultra-light car enables you to experiment with
the two major variables of Newton's Second Law of Motion: Mass and
Force. Mass will vary with the number of nickels you add. Force will
vary with the number of times you twist the elastic band for propulsion.
Subtle changes in mass, force, or both will considerably affect the car’s
distance of travel. What a great way to “drive” students to understand
this basic law of physics! Includes, two easy-to-assemble ultra-light cars
and a downloadable comprehensive ten-page experiment guide.
