You searched for: Physics Educational Materials
VWR offers a complete catalog 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.
Speed Measurement Photogate
Supplier: GSC International
The Photogate provides a simple, instant, and direct measurement of speed without the need of a connection to another device such as a computer or data logger. The BeeSpi V Photogate uses advanced light gate technology to measure speed, lap time, and cumulative lap time using one timer. By adding a second timer, acceleration can be calculated.

The Stirling Design External Combustion Engine
Supplier: PM RESEARCH INC.
Demonstrate the Stirling Design External Combustion Engine with our 18×11 cm working model. The Stirling engine currently is being re-examined as a practical source of power because of its adaptability to almost any fuel. First produced in the 1800’s as a non-electric fan and an automatic hot air water pump, the engine soon became obsolete due to its lack of sufficient power when compared to the newly developed combustion engine. Any fuel can be used with our model, but denatured alcohol is suggested for clean operation.

Optical Voice Link Kit
Supplier: Industrial Fiber Optics
The Optical Voice Link Kit is the ideal introduction for those students first learning about the marvels, mysteries and science of light transmission through optical fiber.
Students will be fascinated by hearing their own voices, after it has been converted into light and then coupled into, through and out of an optical fiber. This kit is suitable for science projects, home projects, short audio fiber optic curriculums for schools, and inexpensive classroom demonstrations.
No prior fiber optics experience, special tools or training are needed for students to be able to build, use and enjoy the multiple applications of this kit.

Ripple Tank Advanced with Projection Screen
Supplier: Wards
This advanced ripple tank comes complete with all accessories needed for wave investigations.
Tank is intensely illuminated by a strong light source, and synchronized with the wave generator to help students observe the wave patterns on a workgroup table.
The frame is made of reinforced plastic and with foam beaches (to negate reflections). Includes a mirror, which can be mounted at 45 degrees, to project the ripples onto a translucent screen on one side of the unit.
Each water wave acts much like a curved lens. The crest of the wave is seen as a bright region and the trough is seen as a dark region. Inside the ripple tank is a mechanical vibrator attached to a wave generator that produces either point wavelets or parallel wave fronts.
Various obstructions and barriers can be inserted into the path of the wave, such as a single slit, a double slit, or an edge.
Comes complete with all accessories needed for wave investigations
Intensely illuminated for effective student observations
Built in projection screen
