Science Car Kit
Students can make their own miniature car using the simple components in this kit.
Explore many topics such as circuits, switches, and pulley/gear ratios. See how energy is
transferred from a battery through wires to a motor. The kit demonstrates Newton’s laws
of motion and science properties through simple alterations such as changing electrical
polarity. Finished dimensions: 6" x 3". Kit includes components and instructions. Requires
one “D” battery (not included). Grade 4 and up. Sh. wt. 0.14 kgs.
SB27491M — $12.75 ea.
5 or more — $12.37 ea.; 20 or more — $12.11 ea.
Heavy-duty Size “D” Carbon-zinc Batteries. Ideal for general lab work. Super cells provide
up to twice the life of ordinary general-purpose cells. Pkg. of 2. Sh. wt. 0.29 kgs.
SB08606M — $2.35
Mousetrap Racer Designer Assortment Class Pack
Significantly more complex for challenging those students developing higher level
engineering and machine production skills. Enough materials and components to complete
12 racers. There are no instructions, so students use creative problem solving to
design and manufacture the assemblies needed to complete their functioning vehicles.
Grades 4-12. Sh. wt. 2.31 lbs.

Wind Tunnel
Students can make a variety of aerodynamic studies with an actual wind
tunnel. A wing can be made and lift calculations can be made to give students an idea
of how efficient their wing is. Students can also visually analyze the efficiency of their
creation using a smoke stream. Wind tunnel measures 30" x 8" x 5". Includes activity
guide. Grades 6-12. Sh. wt. 7 lbs.
SB42247M — $339.10
Wind Tunnel Model
Show the secret behind how
airplanes work. This model is
an easy way to demonstrate
Bernoulli’s principle and the
concept of lift. Consists of an
acrylic tube with an airfoil
(wing) suspended inside.
This airfoil is attached to a
pole that extends downward
through the tube. When this
pole is placed on the plate of
a sensitive scale and the fan
engaged, the airfoil will generate
some lift, causing the
apparent weight of the wing
to decrease! Measures: 10¼" L x 8" H x 5"
W. Grades 8-12. Sh. wt. 10 lbs.
