Description:   Apparatus for measuring the time it takes for a ball to fall a certain distance using a digital timer. Very easy to set up and use but nevertheless highly accurate. Includes 3 steel balls. A micro-magnet holds the ball in its start position. Three contact pins under the release mechanism ensure that the start position of the ball can be reproduced and act as the contacts of a switch that opens when the ball is released, thus triggering the beginning of the timing measurement. When the ball strikes the contact plate at the bottom, the timer is stopped. The ball is also held firmly on the plate so that it does not bounce. The height through which the ball drops can be adjusted to a fraction of a millimeter and read off a scale on the column.

Description:   Evaluate structure and material strength.

Description:   Allow students to discover a variety of exciting technologies essential to our everyday lives.

Description:   This easy-to-build hydraulic arm demonstrates the power of fluid dynamics.

Description:   Perfect for beginners.

Description:   CoDrone Mini fits in the palm of your hand.

Description:   Prepare for upcoming competitions with this practice kit, the only kits officially licensed and approved by Science Olympiad™!

Description:   An Arduino Micro development board based on the ATmega32u4 microcontroller.

Description:   Inexpensive, compact counter for measuring milliseconds (in conjunction with the free-fall apparatus 470162-756 ). Each count is started and stopped by a signal at the input sockets. The device is automatically reset to zero each time it is restarted. Includes plug-in power supply.
