Structures Testing Instrument 2.0

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.

Colored glue is a hit with teachers and students alike. Specially formulated for student-engineered wooden structures, the color makes it quick and easy to locate and judge glue joints. 16 ounces.

For teachers who regularly incorporate tower- and bridge-building activities into their curriculum, this Balsa Wood MegaPack is a great buy. Get 500 pieces of balsa wood, each measuring 1/8" x 1/8" x 24".

Shake things up with Pitsco’s EQ^s Tremor Table – the ultimate in testing student-built structures for quake resistance!

The EQs shakes model buildings to the breaking point. A control box with an LED display reports the cycles per second from zero to 30, which is within the range of an earthquake’s P waves. Plus, you can program up to eight minutes of a shake sequence – perfect for consistent testing and structure-building contests. The EQs is also a great tool for demonstrating resonant frequency.

When used with the floor plate system, the EQs helps your students reach new heights of learning. The floor plates are made of 1/8" plywood and are built as part of the structure. Holes in the plate’s center allow bolts and washers to be attached, which simulate the concrete and steel load on the floors of a real skyscraper. Without having to insert metal load plates after building, students have more design possibilities by using this system.

Bring the excitement of an amusement park to the classroom with this Roller Coaster Kit! Students can learn about physics concepts while designing all the loops, hills, and banked curves found in all the best roller coasters. Designing, creating, and experimenting with this rubber-extruded 20-foot track is a fun way to demonstrate the following:

• Potential and kinetic energies
• Energy changes within a system
• Limits of safety
• Connecting slope to velocity
