Large tough measuring cylinder
How might I use these?
These are great for both indoor and outdoor use. They are great for helping young children to start to think about measurements, introducing a scientific element to water play and outdoor explorations. Their large size means you can also use them for exploring volume, displacement and density as you can drop objects into them and measure how much water is displaced. Try some streamlining explorations: make shapes out of plasticine and drop them in whilst timing how long it takes for different shapes to sink to the bottom!
Specification:
- Graduated in millilitres
- Wide rim
- Tapered pour spout
- Hexagonal base for stability
- Length: 41.5cm
- Base diameter: 10cm
Supplied:
One 1L measuring cylinder

Hand warmer (re-useable and large!)
£5.99
Re-useabe gel handwarmer.
Larger than many, these hand warmers release loads of lovely heat to keep you warm and toasty. Simply flex the metal disc inside to release at least an hour of lovely heat!
How might I use these?
Great for warming hands when you're out in the cold (or in Outdoor STEM sessions!).
These are also great for using in experiments where you need a safe source of warmth, or simply to see an exothermic chemical reaction in process! The metal disc click triggers an exothermic (heat releasing) reaction: watch the crystallisation of the gel spread as it releases heat energy!
To reset and make it ready for use again, simply wrap in a tea towel and place in a pan of boiling water for about ten minutes until all the crystals are gone (detailed instructions are printed on the handwarmer).
Specification:
Unboxed dimensions:
Length: 13.5cm
Width: 9cm
Thickness: ~1.5cm
Weight: 194g (unpackaged)
Supplied:
One Re-useable gel handwarmer in cardboard box and sustainable packaging.
Top tips!
Wrap in a sock or glove and keep in a pocket to make the heat last longer.
These are also great tucked down a welly boot if you're prone to cold feet!

Wind / water mini generator turbine
£5.95
Hand-held miniature turbine that generates electricity and lights a small red LED light when you blow the blades or hold it under water (it's perfectly fine with getting wet!)
How might I use these?
These are great for teaching children about the possibilities of generating electrical energy from wind and water. With younger children they can experiment with trying different ways to turn the blades and get a feel for how much force is needed to light the light. They build an association between wind / water power and the possibility to harness sustainable energy sources to generate electricity. For older children these can be used for more quantifiable experiments to work out what flow rate, wind speed etc are needed to light the LED. Does the height water falls from affect the amount of energy released? Can they build a dam that will release water with enough energy to light the light? How fast does it have to move through air to light the light? The possibilities are endless!
Specification:
Length: 135mm
Weight: 9g (unpackaged)
Supplied:
One mini turbine in plastic free packaging
Top tips!
Dry thoroughly after using with water

We know what works:
Many years teaching science to young students has taught us which safety specs are comfortable, which tube racks stay upright, and which thermometers are least fragile! We only sell equipment we use ourselves, so you can be confident that what you're buying works.
Real laboratory equipment:
Support your students to develop the skills and dexterity they'll need to take their interest in science further.
FREE postage on orders over £12
No hidden costs. VAT included, low prices and no need to source everything separately.
Eco-friendly packaging
We don't use plastics in our packaging. Only recyclable and biodegradable materials.
We reuse and repurpose packaging wherever possible to reduce our impact on the environment and help to keep our prices down. If you feel your package looks a little repurposed please take pleasure in the effort to reduce waste that you have supported!
