Physical Science<br />
Electricity/Electrostatics<br />
Barlow’s Wheel<br />
Barlow’s Wheel, invented by an English<br />
mathematician in 1822, is a type of electric<br />
motor that demonstrates the relationship<br />
between electricity and<br />
magnetism. As electrons enter the<br />
system, eddy currents are attracted<br />
to powerful neodymium magnets,<br />
causing wheel to spin. Requires four<br />
“AA” batteries (not included). Sh. wt.<br />
4.50 lbs.<br />
SB48373M— $87.80<br />
Gold Leaf Electroscope<br />
Sturdy electroscope features a metal case with front<br />
and rear glass windows for preventing air currents<br />
from affecting the deflection of the leaves. Leaves<br />
are gold and aluminum. Leaf support rod is held in<br />
place by an insulating plastic sleeve. A graduated<br />
scale is also provided for measuring the deflection<br />
from 0°-90°. Includes instructions. Overall dimensions:<br />
6" x 4" x 8". Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 0.68 kgs.<br />
SB34799M — $30.50<br />
What Is... Resistance?<br />
Concepts you always wanted to learn, teach, and prove about resistance! In this kit<br />
experiments prove and explain the concepts of and prove the various laws governing<br />
resistance. There is finally a comprehensive, hands-on activity kit that demonstrates<br />
Ohms Law, factors affecting resistance, length, cross-section, heat, series, parallel, and so<br />
much more. Detailed instructional booklet provided along with two multimeters for use<br />
as voltmeter and ammeter, rheostat, battery boxes, text wires, resistance coils, alligator<br />
clip leads, candles, lamp socket, bulbs, and contact key. Sh. wt. 11 lbs.<br />
SB42283M — $136.00<br />
NASCO Friction Rod Kit<br />
The perfect kit for demonstrating the generation of electrostatic charges using a friction<br />
rod. The complete kit includes a solid plastic rod, hard rubber rod and ebonite, and<br />
a hollow glass rod (closed at one end); three friction pads (flannel, silk, animal fur); balloons;<br />
and instructions. Sh. wt. 0.37 kgs.<br />
SB13247M — $34.25<br />
Set of 4 Friction Rods.<br />
Sh. wt. 0.37 kgs.<br />
SB29015M — $11.55<br />
Set of 4 Friction Pads.<br />
Sh. wt. 0.29 kgs.<br />
SB29016M — $26.05<br />
Electroscope<br />
Show how two similarly charged objects repel.<br />
Classic electroscope with 10-cm square glass<br />
view area. Includes two pair die-cut aluminum<br />
foil, brass hanger, glass panels, ball terminal,<br />
insulator, and instructions. Grade 6 and up. Sh.<br />
wt. 0.37 kgs.<br />
SB28885M — $33.65<br />
Replacement Foil. Two pair die-cut aluminum<br />
leaves for use with Electroscope (SB28885M). Sh.<br />
wt. 0.06 kgs.<br />
SB28912M — $3.90<br />
Force on a Conductor in a Magnetic Field<br />
Demonstrates the interaction between electricity and magnetism. A metal rod rests<br />
on a pair of metal rails in a U-shaped magnet. When current passes through the rod,<br />
it reacts to the force and moves along the rails. Detachable magnets allow change of<br />
polarity. Operates on 3V DC. Measures 7-1⁄2" x 2-3⁄4" x 2-1⁄3". Sh. wt. 0.88 lbs.<br />
SB48375M — $23.75<br />
Basic Electroscope<br />
Sensitive and easy to use. Transparent plastic<br />
case prevents air flow from interfering with<br />
the deflection of leaves, but allows observation<br />
from all directions. Grounding eliminates<br />
deflections caused by charges residing in the<br />
case. Measures 6-1⁄3" x 4" x 2-3⁄4".<br />
Sh. wt. 0.38 lbs.<br />
