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.
Same as 16260, but does not include the Multimeters.

The Intro Kit is ideal for introducing students to the concepts of changing force by levers and pulleys, and the notion of mechanical advantage. The manual describes experiments with three types of levers, single and double pulley systems, and shows the characteristics of each machine. Set includes: 1 lever with centimeter scale, 2 pulleys, 1 spring scale, 2 weight hangers, 1 slotted weight set, 1 base and support rod, 1 support rod with clamp, 2 hook collars, 1 pulley cord, 1 manual and disc.

To study and demonstrate heat absorption and radiation. Consists of two metal concave plates one white and the other painted black with thermometer holders on the back, and in-between is a lamp, heat source. When the lamp is switched on and the temperature is measured of the metal plates, it can be studied which one absorbs heat quicker and more than the other. After the lamp is turned off, we can also study which losses heat quicker. Lamp operates on 12VDC. Base Size 7.75" x 7.75" x 0.5". Metal plates are 3.75" in dia. Total height of unit 5.5". One bulb included, thermometers not included.

Students fill one container with water at room temperature and the other with boiling water. A thermometer is placed in each container and the water temperature in both cups read before heat transfer. The metal bar is then immersed in the cups, and students observe heat lost by boiling water and heat gained in the cooler water. Each kit includes: 2 insulated containers; 2 insulated lids with slots; 1 U-shaped aluminum transfer bar; 2 thermometers 20 degrees to 110 degrees. Additional materials required: low-temperature thermometer.
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.

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.
