Nasco Physics Lab Kit

Grades 9-12.

A well-equipped physics lab station in a well-packaged portable container designed for non-conventional lab situations such as home schooling, or any situation that calls for an uncompromised lab experience with or without the presence of an experienced lab teacher and without the need for a traditional lab facility. Hands-on physics experiments have been designed to incline the student toward becoming a scientific innovator, to be convenient for the teacher, and to be safe for the user and the environment. Every experiment clearly teaches a scientific principle. The included equipment has been chosen or developed to produce successful results and give the student an educationally challenging hands-on learning experience. The kit is intended to cover the laboratory portion of a high school physics course. Kit contains everything necessary to perform 33 physics experiments, a student manual, and a teacher’s guide. Allow extra delivery time.
