Resonance Tube Apparatus
No need to mess around trying to mount meter sticks when you
do your resonance experiments. The glass resonance tube in this
superior apparatus is calibrated right on the glass! This direct
calibration provides more consistent student data and more
accurate readings. The tube is mounted on its own support stand
and connected with surgical tubing to its aluminum water reservoir.
The reservoir is easily moved up and down with the knurled
adjustment screw built into the support clamp. Experiments
require the use of a tuning fork with a frequency of 512 Hz,
included. Comes complete with experiment directions.

Flinn Electromagnetic
Spectrum Chart
By: The Flinn Staff
Displays the wavelengths of familiar electromagnetic
waves, such as FM radio,
cellular phones and X-rays, and colorfully
shows the relatively small bandwidth of
visible light. Frequency increases in 10-Hz
increments. Printed on sturdy 80# paper,
with matte finish, reduced-glare lamination
and four metal eyelets at the top prevent tearing. 48" x 32".

SpectroClick Kits
SpectroClick Kits introduce students—from
primary to advanced—to fundamental concepts of
light and measurement through personal observation.
Students are given the components of
a rudimentary spectrometer to assemble. They
observe spectra through a diffraction grating and
compare clear and colored samples. Includes a
16-page instruction booklet.
Teacher Kit contains one complete set of components. The Classroom Kit includes
10 student sets of components.

Color and Light—
Spectrum Demonstration Kit
By: Doug De La Matter, Retired, Madawaska Valley D.H.S., Barry’s Bay, ON
This demonstration uses a diffraction grating and
an overhead projector to cast a large spectrum
onto a wall or projection screen. The pure colors
of the projected spectrum are then manipulated
with the simple materials in this kit to study where
color originates and to answer the questions
above. Instructions and materials are provided
for three different demonstrations that will surely illuminate and educate your
students about color absorption, color reflection, color filtering and blending
colors of light. All the materials, except the food dye, can be reused.
Note: Requires an overhead projector.

Orion Science Resonance Tube
Using this resonance tube from
Orion Science, students investigate
standing sound waves in a
column of air and measure the
speed of sound. Compatible with Vernier probes.

Thundering Tube—
Demonstration Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Does a vibrating spring produce sounds even when they
cannot be heard? Use the Thundering Tube amplifier to find
out! Pull or shake the spring fastened to the rubber drum
attached to one end of the Thundering Tube and hear an
astonishingly realistic “rumbling” sound of thunder. As you
vary the length of the tube, students hear only the sounds that
are in resonance with the column length. Even though numerous
sound frequencies are produced, they are “silenced” until the tube length changes.
A perfect demonstration device to explain resonance, amplification and even musical
instruments. Includes complete instructions and a reproducible student worksheet.

Color Addition and
Subtraction—Primary Colors
Demonstration Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Help students clearly see the difference
between primary colors of light and primary
colors of pigment. Show color mixing by
addition using blue, red and green filters. The
three primary colors of light are projected onto a screen then refracted to overlap
and produce white light. Next color mixing by subtraction is demonstrated by overlapping
filters of magenta, yellow and cyan—the true primary colors of pigment—to
completely absorb all wavelengths of visible light, producing black. An unforgettable
demonstration with complete instructions, reproducible student worksheet and
extensive discussion notes. All materials are reusable—a super value!
Note: Requires an overhead projector.

Color Mixer
Red + blue + green = white? Prove to your students
that white light is indeed composed of all colors with
this durable and affordable color mixer! Three unique
screens are included that allow you to mix the colored
light in several different ways. Pair these screens with
the ability to show one, two or three lights at once and
you have a very versatile demonstration tool. You can
even choose to shine the lights from the center of the
unit! Constructed with heavy-duty steel and high-quality LED lights. Built-in digital
screen shows the exact percentage of red, green or blue light currently displayed.
Color mixer is 12" H × 10" W. Screens are 14" H × 11¾" W.
