FLIR Infra-Red Camera
(FLIR - Forward Locating Infra Red)
Physics
FLIR has a resolution of 60 x 60 pixels, or 3.6 kilopixels. It is sensitive to temperatures from -20 ºC to 250 ºC. Thus it covers body temperature and the temperature of one’s surroundings. The camera displays images on a 2.8 cm LCD screen (Figure 2) and can take pictures on to a supplied memory card. It can be used to look at heat loss from buildings and thermal imaging in search and rescue.
SSERC Bulletin 245 Winter 2013 has some additional information on this device.

Monkey & Hunter
Physics: Projectile Motion
A fun, basic kit demonstrating gravitational pull; an elastic powered projectile launcher fires a “ping pong ball” (bullet) at a monkey which is released simultaneously from an electromagnet.

Radiant Heat Source
Physics: Electrical Power
Safe mains radiant heat source designed to provide a safe unidirectional source of infra-red radiation. (Use with kit S362: Infra Red detector.)
|
 |
| S1349 |
National Grid Simulator
Physics: Electrical Power
A safe form of demonstrating the need for high voltage transmission. Includes 2 transformers (transmit and receive), insulated resistance wire, 2 mounted SBC lamps and full instructions.

Set of 5 Models
Biology
Set of 5 models shows the most important joints of the body: knee, hip, elbow, shoulder and spine.

| S1374 |
Cloud Chamber
Physics: Waves & Radiation
This apparatus shows tracks left by radiation and cosmic rays as a vapour trail.
Traditionally, cloud chambers have been difficult to set up, with most requiring dry ice, this device is electrically cooled.
It comes with a piece of mildly radioactive welding rod which requires no special storage or transport provision.
Add a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol), switch on the chamber in a darkened room and tracks appear in minutes.
Supports learning and teaching of Physics N4 /N5 Waves and Radiation
N.B. schools will have to provide their own isopropyl alcohol (Propan-2-ol)

Mystrica Colorimeters (kit of 4)
Chemistry / Biology : National 4/5 and above(but can be used by any age group for colorimetric experiments.)
These machines are robust and easy to use and can be connected to PC’s, iPhones and iPads to allow much easier use for looking at e.g. rates of reaction.
