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.
Kinetic Theory Model
Supplier: VWR International
Study the motion and behavior of gas molecules with this intriguing demonstration. An electric motor, running at 4 to 12 V DC, vibrates a small platform inside a transparent tube. This platform then violently vibrates the many small stainless steel balls inside the tube.

Density ID Set
Supplier: VWR International
A set of 15 samples of different materials used to challenge students to identify materials based on measurement of their density. For some specimens this will be straightforward. In other cases, it will lead to a discussion of uncertainty in measurements and data, and to an awareness that different materials may have nearly the same density.
