Visual Scientifics loop kit is used to demonstrate kinetic and potential energy, and calculates the normal force on a roller coaster rider. The kit includes two balls and a ramp with a loop for hands-on experiments, and has steel construction for durability. Steel is a good general-purpose material, with better weldability and increased rust resistance over wrought iron. The loop kit’s 30-page instructions cover three hours of class and lab time, and include a main lab, “Loop Investigation: Applying Conservation of Kinetic and Potential Energy,” and two extensions, “Normal Force on a Roller Coaster Rider” and “Technology Verification of Calculations.” The instructions also contain safety information, general theory, classroom lessons, experimental set up diagrams, a student lab book, 15 Next Generation Science Standards Concepts, and 17 Common Core Standards. The loop kit requires PTBASE base for operation; optional accessories include a video camera for the extensions, graphing software, scale for obtaining masses, measuring tape or a ruler, and PTBACK back board (required and optional accessories sold separately). The loop kit is suitable for high school and college students, or ages 14 to 21.Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.Visual Scientifics brand products, manufactured by EISCO Scientific, include lab supplies and equipment for physical science education. Founded in 1968, EISCO is headquartered in Rochester, NY, and meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard 9001: 2000.What’s in the Box?Metal ramp with loop(2) metal ballsInstructions
