Students will enjoy connecting batteries, wires and bulbs in various combinations to try to make bulbs light. Snap-on wire clips enable students to make connections between the batteries and bulbs quickly. A chart of various arrangements for connecting the batteries and bulbs is provided. The student studies the chart, predicts which arrangement will light the bulb and which will not, then connects the real batteries and bulbs (following the diagrams) to prove or disprove original predictions. Purchase size "D" batteries separately.

Demonstrates the sun's energy. When in sunlight or artificial light, the vanes rotate at a high rate of speed. When in darkness the vanes cease movement altogether, showing the simple principle of energy from the sun can be converted into motor energy. This device gives your students the benefit of seeing the bombardment of molecules within a near vacuum. Comes with complete sheet cataloging known and unknown factors about energy. Our Radiometer is made from a glass bulb from which much of the air has been removed. Inside the bulb, on a low-friction spindle, is a rotor with 4 vanes. Each vane has one blackened side and one silvered side; one black vane features a white dot in order to count rotations easily.
