Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. With this kit, you can assemble a realistic wind turbine complete with electric generator and adjustable rotor blades that are designed with complex aerodynamic curves to look and work like modern-day wind turbine blades. Then, conduct experiments to optimize the turbine’s performance by adjusting the angle of the blades and discover how to use the wind turbine to light up an LED and charge a rechargeable battery. Convert the generator into an electric motor and assemble a small electric car to demonstrate a tangible application for the stored electricity.
The full-color, 32-page manual offers illustrated instructions and scientific information that explores the different types of wind turbines and windmills, the history of this technology, and how wind energy can be used to power homes and electric cars.

The design of the Spillnot uses the principles of Newtonian physics to keep the liquid in the container. The flexible handle and location of the suspension point above the center of the tray ensure that the forces on the liquid are always directed toward the supporting tray, even when the tray is in motion. Sideways forces usually responsible for spills are not transmitted to the tray by the flexible handle. Radial forces generated during swinging motion only force the liquid into the container more firmly. An inexpensive demonstration to intrigue students and challenge their analytical powers! Includes activity guide. 5" x 5" x 9". Weight: .25 lbs.

Partial Immersion, Double Scale Range -20/110 degrees C and 0/230 degrees F, Scale: 1 Degree C, 2 Degree F, 300mm Length Partial immersion is best for most applications. These thermometers are calibrated to read correctly when only 3" of the stem is immersed in the liquid being measured. Total immersion thermometers are calibrated for use when the entire liquid column is totally immersed in the substance being measured and should be used under those circumstances. All of our thermometers are made to SAMA specifications for ranges and accuracy. In addition, each of our thermometers has a number of extra quality features built into each one: REINFORCED BULBS, to prevent breakage, RING TOPS, for submersion, NON ROLL CAPS, SCALES PRINTED INTO THE GLASS, rather than on the surface so they never wear off.

Titration allows students to apply scientific concepts to discover what a titration is, how it is performed and how to determine when it is complete. Students see how this technique is applied in a number of real-world settings and become actively engaged in an experiment by using a scientific approach to determine the amount of vitamin C in a number of foods. Viewers learn about proper safety procedures as they watch a group of high school students gather, organize and present their data. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series.
