The Digital Multimeters measure electricity, primarily as current, voltage, or resistance. Students can measure the output of batteries, solar panels, or other generators, or troubleshoot electronic devices.

Are you looking for a hands-on demonstration of Newton's First Law? The Eisco Force Table uses a series of pulleys and weights to help demonstrate how multiple forces acting in different directions affect the movement of an object. The kit is easy to assemble and has everything your students need to set up the activity.

The Eisco Direct-Vision Spectroscope is a rugged, easy-to-use instrument designed for middle school classrooms. Featuring a durable plastic housing and an diffraction grating (≈ 500–600 lines/mm), students can confidently explore and decompose visible light (400–700 nm) and accurately measure spectral lines with ±5 nm precision. With an engraved scale directly on the spectroscope, learners can view and quantify emission lines from gas tubes, flame tests, or common light sources—turning glowing colors into data.

Measure the pH of solids like soils, gels, food, and more.

Measure surface temperatures with this infrared thermometer. Includes a built-in laser pointer, adjustable high alarm, two AAA batteries, soft case, and a wrist wrap.

Fablab ModelMaker software is used to render 3D shapes. The output initially shows the net of the shapes which can be printed on paper and cut out using a paper cutting machine (also available for loan). Each shape created includes additional information such as description, formulas (volume, surface area), parameters, and more for reference. These reference metrics allow students to learn more about each shape, as well as assess their understanding of geometric shapes, volumes, variables and ratios.

Note: For Macintosh users, the last version of macOS that is compatible with FabLab is 10.4, Mojave. If you require alternate computers to run FabLab, just let us know!

Explore the basics of gears with the Gear Car kit. The cars come in sets with two different gear ratios that allow students to investigate the effect of gear ratio on the car's performance (speed and power). This tool comes with curricula that includes a powerpoint, a video link, and an investigation and can be used as is, or modified for your class. The lessons and cars can be used as a stand alone investigation or to prepare students for designing a Solar Car.

STEM Pre-Academy has put together a germination station to facilitate seed germination within the classroom. This kit provides a safe and controlled environment for seeds to germinate and grow, allowing optimal conditions before they are transplanted to the final grow-out placement.

Teachers have utilized this kit to involve their students in the germination process and teach them how to cultivate their own food.

The kit is versatile and can be used for Hydroponics, Aquaponics, or conventional soil farming techniques. It comes with an easily assembled PVC Frame, Grow Light, timer, and a germination tray with a humidity dome.

From the publisher:

Players work together to clean up the earth and slow climate change while the temperature rises with each turn. Can you and your friends slow it down before “Game Over” happens for you AND Planet Earth?

Draw and trade cards to find the best solutions to the environmental problems that emerge during the game – but make sure you have enough money to pay for those solutions. You may need to join forces with other players to avoid a catastrophe!

Playable by ages 10 and up, this game is especially fun for teens and adults!

STEM Pre-Academy has developed a heat lamp kit for testing solar ovens in the classroom or any situation that requires a constant heat source. Teachers often use this kit for the Solar Oven EDP activity, particularly on rainy days when the sun isn't available.

The kit comes with an easily assembled PVC frame, two heat lamps, two thermometers, and a power cord.

Are you looking for a hands-on EDP Challenge for your students? University of Hawai‘i engineering students adapted a wind turbine generator to help teachers learn and teach the Engineering Design Process (EDP). The horizontal wind turbine activity challenges students to design and manufacture blades to transform wind energy into electrical energy using electromagnetism concepts.

Teachers use this tool to cover EDP, electromagnetism, and circuits. The kit includes: Wind turbine test frame, industrial fan, multimeter, and test lamp. (This kit does not include consumable supplies to build the blade.)

HyperDuino is an incredible concept that was created by Roger Wagner (writer of the original Apple II documentation!). HyperDuino kits allow users in any skill range to build physical, interactive projects in no time at all using an Arduino and the HyperDuino board. Beginners might make an interactive display that lights up when you press the right button. An intermediate user might add interactive video to the display. And the advanced user can take full advantage of the power of the arduino and create something truly amazing. It's quite stunning how quickly and easily these projects can be created.

The Kill-A-Watt power meter measures and records appliance power consumption and calculates power cost based on local power companies’ price per kilowatt. Students can investigate “standby power”, and explore the energy consumed by appliances even when they are turned off.

littleBits are just what they sound like! Little bits of technology that can be magnetically attached together to make just about any electronics-based maker project. The STEAM Student Set includes all the bits to occupy 3 students, or 6+ if grouped. The set contains 19 Bits and 45 Accessories, 8 Challenges, 6 Step-by-Step Resources, and an Invention Guide Book. Even better, a wealth of community-created content and tips are just a Google search away!
