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!
