Hydrostatic Studies Kit
PRODUCT DETAILS
This comprehensive kit explores critical concepts at a budget-friendly price. Show that a body immersed in water displaces its own volume of water and use this concept to measure irregular volumes. Demonstrate that buoyancy is a function of volume only, not mass, and investigate Archimedes’ Principle. Includes metal overflow can with angled spout (13 cm H, 10 cm dia., and 750 mL capacity); catch bucket for use with overflow can (7-1/2 cm H, 7-1/2 cm dia., 300 mL capacity); specific gravity set with nine items ranging in density from 0.05 to 19 g/mL, each about 1 cc in volume: carbon, aluminum, brass, PVC, copper, polyethylene, steel, glass, and Styrofoam®; equal mass set with five items of the same mass and diameter but different lengths: PVC, brass, polyethylene, aluminum, and nylon; and instructions with experiments and theory. Grades 6-12.
