Tap into the awesome world of electronics with this advanced system of snap-together electric building blocks. Start out by experimenting with colorful light-up circuits as you dive into the basics of electricity. Install a sound module to generate the sounds of police cars, ambulances, or fire engines. Learn the important role resistors and potentiometers (variable resistors) play in an electronic circuit. Use a multimeter to measure invisible voltage and current flowing through your circuit. Investigate transistors in switches and amplifiers to learn how the logical circuits in computers work. Build circuits that use sensors to detect moisture, temperature, and visible light. Incorporate capacitors in your circuits to store and discharge electricity for specific functions, such as a countdown clock and a red-green alternate flasher. Test out the indispensable 555 timer to build some complicated circuits. Use an operational amplifier and an FM radio module to build an alarm clock. This kit uses the same unique electric building blocks as our other electronics kits, with the addition of many new advanced components, allowing you to build more complex circuits. The more than 140 electronic components include capacitors, resistors, transistors, LEDs (light emitting diodes), phototransistor, switches, speaker, integrated circuit, infrared LED, diodes, FM tuner, 555 timer, operation amplifier, two potentiometers, electrodes, voltage and current meter, microphone, and 9-volt battery pack.
The manual contains detailed illustrations and explanations of 24 hands-on experiments that can be conducted using the GENECON and the GENECON Kit. Concepts covered range from circuit types to principles of electromagnetism. This is a must-have manual for every science curriculum.
Two plates 250mm in diameter are supported in two rigid uprights and driven by hand in opposite directions. They are heavy, high-resistance plastic with sectors of aluminum sheets. Leyden jars (condensers) made of borosilicate glass and aluminum foil store electricity until discharged by the dischargers. The whole unit is mounted on a wooden base.
This pre-assembled DC motor is designed for students to learn about electromagnetic forces. The open structure resembles the diagram found in many textbooks. The polarity of the magnets can be reversed to change the direction of rotation. The motor can also be used with a rheostat to observe the change of speed with the change of current. The DC motor can stand vertically or horizontally and operates on a 1.5V battery (not included). It comes in a sturdy plastic storage case with a student activity manual Shipping weight: 11.45 oz., dimensions: 5.5" x 4.5" x 2.5".

All you need is water, a little sunshine and imagination for hours of fun making photographic type prints, available in 2 sizes. 4" x 4", 10 sheets, 1 acrylic plate and instructions in a lightproof envelope.
Contains 4" x 4" sheets of sunprint paper and an acrylic overlay. This acrylic overlay helps press objects such as leaves flat in contact with the paper to insure a good print.
Developed by educators at the Lawrence Hall of Science, Sunprints encourage an interest in the photographic process using only sun, water, and a bit of imagination.
Place a leaf, flower, or other object on the special paper and set it in the sun briefly.
Then rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears.
Helps students understand how and why gyroscopes are used for many guidance systems. This is a well-balanced, high quality gyroscope with adjustable bearings. The accessories include plastic gimbals, rocker and pivoting housing. This unit measures 100m x 190mm. Instructions provided.
Useful for demonstrating momentum, conservation of energy and torque! The unit is suspended by two strong cords, which are wound around the shaft of the wheel and then released. The wheel will unwind as it falls but will wind itself back up as the momentum carries the wheel upward in the opposite direction. This oscillation process will continue for several moments as the wheel slowly loses momentum and travels less each time. Instructions included.
