Pitsco Education Binostat Probability Demonstrator is a clear, concise way to convey the laws of probability. Students watch as small balls create a distribution curve in the tray as they randomly drop through a grid. The Binostat base and top grid are made of high-density polyethylene and connect easily. Comes with balls, grid pins, and a user guide.

For the medieval catapult, stored tension equals the power of projectile motion – which now equals awesome learning power! Build and use this kit to demonstrate:

• Force and motion.
• Vectors.
• Trajectory.
• Potential and kinetic energy.
• Simple machines.
• Medieval history.

Plus, students can develop math, physics, and problem-solving skills by experimenting with the catapult to reach different distances with varying weights of ammunition (pieces of clay). Going back to the Dark Ages has never been so enlightening!
