Piezo Buzzer in Vacuum Chamber | A Modern Replacement for the Traditional Bell Jar and Ringer Arbor Scientific 2020-06-02 | Our Piezo Buzzer in Vacuum Chamber is the modern replacement for the Bell Jar and Ringer. The apparatus features a high amplitude, battery-powered piezo buzzer enclosed within a clear acrylic tube. The buzzer is suspended between two posts limiting the transfer of sound and is controlled by a switch that has a red LED attached to show that it is on. When the end plates are attached and the unit connected to an electric or hand-held vacuum pump, the air can be removed, and the effect of sound is unable to pass through a vacuum clearly demonstrated. Sound returns when the air is allowed back into the tube. An effective demonstration with none of the complications of the traditional apparatus.Featured Products- Piezo Buzzer in Vacuum Chamber: bit.ly/36CpcW8- Electric Vacuum Pump: bit.ly/3xKOsVY- Hand-Held Vacuum Pump: bit.ly/2U67849-- About Arbor ScientificFor more than three and a half decades, we’ve been committed to supporting science educators with meaningful and engaging lab demonstrations and hands-on experiences that not only inspire students but educators as well.

Investigating Electrical Circuits Kit | Arbor Scientific Arbor Scientific 2020-04-10 | With this Investigating Electrical Circuits Kit, students discover by designing and testing electrical circuits and then are introduced to the concepts of voltage, resistance, and electrical current. Everything needed to build simple to complex circuits is included with well thought out instructional guide. Each of the electrical components is mounted on a durable plastic magnetic base (embedded Neodymium magnets) designed to help keep things organized on a custom magnetic receptive mat - both for instructor demonstrations or student lab stations. The magnetic mat is also a dry erase board for easy note-taking, drawing circuit diagrams, or simple labeling. Unique connector posts make multiple alligator clip connections simple, stackable, and easy. All components are individually available.Featured Products- Investigating Electrical Circuits Kit: bit.ly/3wxf2Rf- Miniature Digital Ammeter: bit.ly/3wAPC5e- Miniature Digital Voltmeter: bit.ly/3ASXD8Z-- About Arbor ScientificFor more than three and a half decades, we’ve been committed to supporting science educators with meaningful and engaging lab demonstrations and hands-on experiences that not only inspire students but educators as well.

Chromatic Aberration Explained | Arbor Scientific Arbor Scientific 2020-04-02 | Chromatic aberration is an example of a lens defect resulting from the dispersion of colors. Light travels slower in glass than in air. That is why light refracts into the glass. Interestingly blue light travels slower in glass than red light, which means blue light refracts more so than red. The result is a separation of blue and red colors. This effect shows up in any glass lens and is called chromatic aberration.
