Slime for Everyone! Student Laboratory Kit

With the Slime For Everyone! Polymers and Chemistry Laboratory Kit, students will have fun as they observe the interesting physical properties of the slimey polymer gel. The slime stretches, flows and even picks up ink!

Alternate Text

Water Marbles, 100 g

Use Water Marbles to create all sorts of discrepant events! Now you see them, now you don’t! The marbles “disappear” when placed into water. Student can discover the science behind this disappearing act!

Alternate Text

With the Mystic Sand Polymer Demonstration Kit, students can form fun underwater towers, columns, and designs! Then, when the sand is removed from the water, it is completely dry!

Alternate Text

Melting Mole Dollars

The Melting Mole Dollars on Dissolving Paper are guaranteed to keep your assets very, very liquid! Just drop in water...and watch it disappear! Learn about water soluble paper as you dissolve Avogadro's mole dollar.

Alternate Text

Shrink Plastic, Printable

With the Printable Shrink Plastic, simply print a computer image on the sheet, follow the baking instructions, and the sheet will shrink to one-fourth its original size and become thicker. Have fun with printer-ready Shrink Plastic!

Alternate Text

Happy/Sad Balls

Use the Polymer Chemistry Demonstration Happy and Sad Balls to explore polymer chemistry. One ball will bounce very high; the other ball will not bounce. Discover why in this lab demonstration.

Alternate Text

Polymer Bead—Demonstration Kit

The Polymer Bead Demonstration Kit will stop students in their tracks! A beaker is filled with a long string of beads. With just a slight pull on one end of the chain, the beads suddenly rise in the beaker and eventually spill over the side!

Alternate Text

With the Silly Putty^® with recipe, discuss the unique properties of Silly Putty and create your own! Everyone knows what Silly Putty looks like and what it does. Discover what gives Silly Putty its unique properties.

Alternate Text

Printable Magnetic Paper

With the Printable Magnetic Paper, customize and print your own signs, directions, warnings or symbols. This paper runs through any inkjet printer and is easily trimmed with scissors to meet any and all needs!

Alternate Text

Fortune Teller Fish

Using the Fortune Teller Fish Hygroscopic Polymer Demonstration, place a fish in your palm and watch it curl up. Have students hypothesize about how it works and why. Is there a scientific basis to it, or can it really tell your fortune?

Alternate Text

The Lazer Dazer is a great presentation of the Bohr model. Spin the disk and watch the electrons orbit the nucleus, giving a 3-D effect of electrons moving from level to level when viewed from different angles.

Alternate Text

Fiber Optics Strand

With the Fiber Optics Strand Physics Demonstration, students experiment with fiber optic material that seems to glow on its own! It glows non-stop. Place your fingers over both ends, and it shines on your fingers! How does this work?

Alternate Text

Rainbow Glasses

With the Diffraction Grating Rainbow Glasses, teach students about color, light, refraction and line spectra. Bright lights explode into crystal clear spectra after you put on our rainbow glasses!

Alternate Text

Fountain Connection

The Fountain Connection Chemistry and Physics Demonstration is a wonderful pressure and vacuum activity. Using two 2-liter bottles and the Fountain Connection, construct a simple fountain that reveals the principles behind this phenomenon.

Alternate Text

With the Wind Bag Chemistry and Physics Demonstration, students will be blown away by your amazing lung power! The wind bag is an 8-foot plastic tube which, with a little practice, can be blown up with just one breath!

Alternate Text

With the Tornado Tube Demonstration Kit, create a tornado by simply using two empty plastic bottles! This unique toy employs hydraulic principles to create the vortex of a tornado. The Tornado Tube can be used over and over again!

Alternate Text

Fuel Candles, Pkg. of 6

The Fuel Candles for steam-powered Putt Putt Boat Demonstration Kit for chemistry and physics come in a package of six.

Alternate Text

Putt Putt Boat—Demonstration Kit

Use the Steam-Powered Putt-Putt Boat Chemistry and Physics Demonstration Kit to teach a boatload of science! The boats are great additions to discussions of force, motion and buoyancy. The “putt-putt” sound of the boat mimics a steamboat!

Alternate Text

The Two-Potato Clock

With the Two-Potato Clock Science Demonstration Kit, operate a clock using two potatoes as an energy source. Try limes, lemons and more! Besides providing students with a functional clock, explain how and why the Potato Clock works.

Alternate Text
