Pasco Weather/Anemometer Sensor
The weather / anemometer sensor allows to measure multiple atmospheric parameters such as wind speed, air temperature, and humidity at a certain point.
Pasco Wireless Light Level Sensor
The PASCO Wireless Light Level Sensor is an easy-to-use tool for measuring light intensity in classroom and outdoor investigations. Designed for student use, it wirelessly connects to tablets, Chromebooks, and computers, allowing students to collect real-time data without cables or complex setup.
This sensor is ideal for investigations involving light and energy, such as comparing brightness at different distances, exploring how light interacts with materials, or studying how environmental factors affect light levels. Students can quickly visualize changes in light intensity on graphs, helping them identify patterns and make evidence-based claims.
Pendulum Investigation Kit
From the manufacturer:
Understanding pendulum motion is fundamental to the study of vibrations and waves. This unique United Science Supplies kit includes everything necessary for a full exploration of the basic features of pendulum motion in a complete but economical set. The individual components are of proven design – the drilled balls have a larger hole on one end than the other to allow suspension at the center of mass, and the triple support features clamps that make adjusting the cord length precise and easy. Students can assess the principal factors of mass, length, and amplitude and even venture into a consideration of air resistance.
Pitsco EZ Shake Table
The Pitsco EZ Shake Table is a classroom-friendly platform designed to simulate realistic seismic activity so students can test the strength, flexibility, and stability of their model structures. With a simple crank mechanism, learners can generate varying magnitudes of shaking, allowing for controlled, repeatable earthquake tests on towers, bridges, or other student-built designs using materials like spaghetti, straws, or LEGO® bricks.
Pitsco Structure Testing Machine
With the PITSCO Structure testing machine students are capable to up to 800 pounds of force to structures including balsa wood or basswood towers and bridges using a turn-force wheel. Students can apply pressure in small increments and stop applying pressure at the first sign of structural damage–so they don’t have to destroy the structure to test it to the limit. And because the system captures both the peak load and the current load, the load that ‘breaks’ the structure is displayed. Because the load reading is given at every change, students can follow a precise pattern to ensure consistent testing in a classroom setting.

Pollinator Model – Bucket Orchid
The Bucket Orchid Pollinator Model was developed by STEM Pre-Academy as an engineering design challenge tool for teachers, and over time, it has been proven engaging and fun for the students.
Teachers have used this to teach students the importance of these pollinators and plant morphology while integrating the engineering design process to develop a hand pollinator.
With this model, students can test their different prototypes of pollinators in the classroom. Each kit includes one pollinator model and ten “pom-poms” to simulate pollen.
Pollinator Model – Vanilla Orchid
The Vanilla Orchid Pollinator Model was developed by STEM Pre-Academy as an engineering design challenge tool for teachers, and over time, it has been proven engaging and fun for the students.
Teachers have used this interactive and hands-on approach to teach students about the importance of these pollinators and plant morphology while integrating the engineering design process to develop a solution to the challenge.
With this model, students can test their different prototypes of pollinators in the classroom. Each kit includes one pollinator model, a sample engineering notebook, and ten “pom-poms” to simulate pollen.
Powershot A495 Camera
Use this 10 MP digital camera with 3.3x optical zoom to capture student work to include in their reports and presentations. SD card included.
Prime Climb Board Game
Prime Climb is a colorful, fast-paced board game that builds fluency in multiplication, division, factoring, and prime numbers. With a unique color-coded number system, students develop number sense and strategy while engaging in meaningful play.
Quadrat
This quadrat frame is a simple but powerful field tool for investigating patterns in ecosystems. Constructed as a durable square grid, it allows students to systematically sample an area—counting organisms, estimating coverage, or recording physical features across a defined space.
In middle school STEM classrooms, a quadrat transforms outdoor observation into structured data collection. Students place the frame along a line or at set intervals to measure changes in plant density, species diversity, ground cover, or other environmental features. The visible grid supports quantification: learners can count squares, estimate percentages, and compare findings across different locations.
Rain Simulator
The Rain Simulator was created for an EDP challenge activity that required controlled rainfall to be simulated within a contained space.
The system uses a pump box to pressurize water and produce rain inside the rain chamber.
Teachers have found it useful for Engineering design challenges and Math applications.
Example of applications using the rain simulator are:
- Designing a house to withstand a tropical storm and a rooftop using the Pythagorean theorem.
Relational GeoSolids
Relational GeoSolids are a versatile set of transparent 3D shapes designed to help students explore volume, surface area, and geometric relationships in a tangible way. Each shape is relationally sized—so students can compare and contrast dimensions across cylinders, cones, cubes, spheres, and more using real-world math practices.
