Student Kit - Mechanics Set

The Student Kit - Mechanics Set contains the apparatus needed to carry out a range of basic mechanics 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.

Takes up Less Space

The experiments the Student Kit - Mechanics Set enable you to carry out are designed to take up a minimal amount of desk space - ideal for a range of environments and desk designs.
