Student Kit - Electrostatics Set

The Student Kit - Electrostatics Set contains the apparatus needed to carry out a range of fundamental electricity experiments for lower secondary school. Detailed instructions and manuals for teachers and students are included on CD-ROM. The apparatus is stored in a rugged Gratnells tray which includes foam inserts for each piece of apparatus to ensure the apparatus is stored safely and securely.
