Crystals are fascinating creations of natural beauty. Diamonds, gemstones, rose quartz, snowflakes, sugar grains, and table salt are all crystals. Grow your own crystals and explore these exquisitely ordered structures in a fun, creative way with six crafty experiments. This kit includes five different chemicals and other tools for growing crystals. Grow a crystal cloud inside a rainbow. Watch pink iridescent crystals form from a translucent solution. Grow long needle-shaped crystals. Mold plaster hearts and flowers and then grow a layer of pink crystals on them. Create the perfect solution to get crystals to form on a granite rock. A specially designed experiment station provides molds and growing basins for your crystal creations. After you have grown your crystals, store them safely in three clear, locking display boxes. Learn how and why crystals form, and tips and tricks for getting the biggest, most beautiful crystals. Full-color, 16-page experiment manual.

Made of the finest sheet glass. Individually selected for uniform quality. Precision ground edges. Guaranteed precleaned. Approximately 1 mm thick. Size 75mm x 25mm.
These pre-cleaned slides are 75mm x 25mm, 1.0mm to 1.2mm thick, and are packaged in boxes of 72. Made of quality sheet glass, with ground edges.
Serves to demonstrate Boyle's Law. Shows what happens when gases are subjected to increased pressure. The plastic syringe, with solid wood base and platen, is constructed so that the calibrations denoting interior volume read right side up. As masses of bricks, books, or other heavy objects are increased, the gas in the syringe is compressed to smaller and smaller volume. The kit includes: 1 Syringe Cylinder w/ Cap, 1 Syringe Piston, 1 Base, 1 Platen.

Just attach a discarded plastic soda bottle to each end of the Tornado Tube, one with water, one empty. Stand the empty bottle on a flat surface, as the water begins to flow down from the full bottle, a vortex will descend from the top with an amazing similarity to a tornado. Bottles not included.
Illustrates linear and spherical expansion by heating and contraction by cooling. Mild steel bar 110x12.5mm, length x diameter. Mounted on a rod with wooden handle and a brass gauge 150x38mm with a cutout mounted on a separate wooden handle which just admits the bar lengthways and a hole into which the bar passes endways when cold.

Demonstrates the difference in thermal conductivity of different metals. Consists of five metal rods stainless steel, brass, copper, iron and aluminum connected to a center metal, brass, hub which is mounted on a rod with wooden handle. The five rods have depressions on the ends to hold wax. When the center hub is heated, heat is conducted through the rods and conductivity of heat can be ascertained by the melting of wax.

This robustly constructed inertia demonstrator works reliably every time and is a great improvement on traditional versions of this classic experiment. A steel ball rests on a thin metal card on top of a pillar, and a spring-loaded catch is mounted next to the pillar. When the catch is released, a piston strikes the edge of the metal card sharply. The card flies out from under the ball, which remains in place on top of the pillar due to its large inertial mass. The card is tethered to the aluminum base for easy recovery after the experiment.

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.
