Studica is the exclusive Canadian educational distributor of the safest, most reliable, and most consistent 4-gram and 8-gram CO₂ cartridges for launching dragsters. Consistent quality ensures the fairest races. Also, each of these cartridges features a patented safety seal that guards against rupture when exposed to excessive heat. This seal automatically releases excess pressure if the internal pressure rises due to the cartridge being heated or pressurized.

When you need longer tank treads, this pack will provide the extra length with the same snap-together chain links found in the TETRIX^® MAX Tank Tread Kit. Package of 100 chain links creates up to 3.25 feet of tread.

You want your students to learn and have a good time in the classroom, and our Trebuchets – Getting Started Package meets both objectives. As students put together their trebuchets, they absorb lessons about inertia, counterweights, friction, and velocity. But they’re also having a great time – not many activities give them an excuse to fling projectiles (the included clay) across the room!

Looking for standards-based activities to accompany these materials? The Trebuchets Teacher’s Guide is available for print here, or you can download a digital copy for free here.

Pitsco Education Catapults - Getting Started Package is the perfect solution for lackluster activities in the classroom.

Students discover the effects of various load masses and different rubber bands as they also learn about tension, forces, data graphing, and other concepts.

Requires white glue, sold separately.
