Investigating Force
& Motion Lab Investigation
Your students will discover for
themselves the key principles
of physical science: force and
motion, friction and gravity,
action and reaction, and work and
power. The class will test a variety
of surfaces for friction resistance,
correlate weight to friction resistance,
and investigate a variety
of ways to reduce friction using
wheels and rollers. With the materials
included, they will explore
variable inertia and use the minidynamics
carts included to study
the basics of elastic vs. inelastic collisions. Grades 6-12. Sh. wt. 3.37 kgs.

Free Fall Tube
Students may expect that lighter
objects experience a lesser acceleration
than heavier objects. What the students
overlook is the action of aerodynamic
force, which counteracts the gravitational
influence. By evacuating air from
the Free Fall Tube, the aerodynamic
forces can be virtually eliminated as
a variable in the demonstration. As a
result, objects will fall with the same
acceleration and reach the bottom of
the tube at the same time. Consists of a
plastic tube that is closed at each end
by a vacuum-tight cap. The bottom cap is fitted with a stopcock for air evacuation.
