Animal kingdom - preserved animal specimens embedded in plastic blocks (each 75mm x 100mm) in presentation case. Specimens included are: Porifera, Coelenterata, Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata and Chordata. The specimen names are printed on the sheet beneath the blocks, the blocks themselves are labelled only by number enabling the specimens to be used for classification exercises. There is a total of 70 plastic embedded specimens.

Plant kingdom - preserved plant specimens embedded in plastic blocks (each 75mm x 100mm) in presentation case. Specimens included are: Algae, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Lichens, Liverworts, Mosses, Pteridphyta, Angiosperms (monocots, dicots, insectivorous, parasitic, saprophytic, epiphytic.)
There is a total of 50 specimens in the kit which are labelled in the same manner as the animal kingdom set.

Dewar Flask
The dewar flask is a container used to hold liquid nitrogen. The flask is supplied with safety gloves and mask, that must be worn. Any use of liquid nitrogen is for demonstration purpose only and should be used with all safety equipment supplied

The Liquid nitrogen should not be transported in personal vehicles, BOC gas will deliver and fill the flask on site.

High Voltage Power Packs. can be used for the "Mass of electron" experiment.

Specifications:

Input 220/240V. AC. 50/60Hz. approx 0.5 amp.

Outputs: Adjustable 0-300V.DC. and 0-200V.AC with voltmeter.

Total load max. current: 10mA approx

Human reproduction and contraception "Magnel Kit" - consists of a vinyl coated steel panel with a picture of the male reproductive system on one side and female on the other. Magnetic add-on pieces show the menstrual cycle, ovulation, foetal development and contraception methods. The coating on the panel allows labelling with crayon or whiteboard marker which are easily erased.

Kitigawa gas detector - This gas detector can be used to detect several different gasses. It works with a glass indicator tube that is attached to the unit. A measured unit of air is sucked into the chamber passing through the glass indicator. A colour change will indicate gas quantativley .

Magnetizing Box: are your magnets weak and in need of re-magnetizing well here is your answer. This box uses super magnets to bring life back to your old magnets. It is portable and needs no power.

Proscope: This is a hand held microscope that is attached to a computer. The case contains a laptop with the software and settings already loaded. The software enables still photos and videos to be taken of the viewed object. The laptop has a CD, DVD, burner to enable work to be saved. There are 3 different lenses x10, x50, x200.

Radar Gun. Hand held speed gun

Solar hot water panel - a lightweight, portable demonstration solar panel with a water storage capacity of 1.2 litres. Because of a large surface area to volume ratio, temperature increases of 2^o per minute may be achieved in summer conditions. Pipe outlets allow the insertion of thermometers or thermocouples to monitor temperature differences in the panel. The angles of the panel and removable reflector are adjustable.
The panel measures approximately 500mm x 650mm.

Solar photovoltaic cell - an array of silicon cells which produces an electrical potential of 12volts. The power output is approximately 0.7watt which is sufficient to trickle charge a 12volt car battery or drive a small electric motor. The unit measures 460mm x 360mm.

Spirometer (Vitalograph, electronic type) - used to determine lung capacity. An individual's performance may be monitored and compared with expected norms. The results are shown on a LCD screen and may also be printed on special thermal paper. If a number of consecutive measurements are to be made then the moisture filter should be changed, washed and dried regularly during use, otherwise a build up of moisture on the screen will give erroneous results. On a cool day the filter should be cleaned after every two or three tests. The kit comes complete with disposable mouthpieces, a spare moisture filter, nose clip and charts of selected case histories.

Spirometer (Vitalograph, pen & chart recording type) - used to determine lung capacity. An individual's performance may be monitored and compared with expected norms. The results are plotted on a special chart via a stylus. The kit comes complete with recording charts, disposable mouthpieces and lung function tables.

Telescope (4inch Meade) - the telescope is packed in a foam lined metal carrying case. The case contains the main telescope assembly with motor drive unit, 2 eyepieces MA 9mm (222x) and MA 25mm (80x), eyepiece holder, 5 x 24mm viewfinder, 240volt AC power cord to power the motor drive. This telescope is supplied with three screw in legs for table top mounting. A comprehensive instruction manual is included. DO NOT attempt to observe the sun through the telescope - instant and irreversible injury to the eye is likely to result as well as damage to the telescope.

The case contains the main telescope assembly with motor drive unit, 2 eyepieces MA 9mm (222x) and MA 25mm (80x), eyepiece holder, 5 x 24mm viewfinder, 240volt AC power cord, tripod support bracket (star), mounting screws and comprehensive instruction manual. A field tripod and equatorial wedge are also supplied. DO NOT attempt to observe the sun through the telescope - instant and irreversible injury to the eye is likely to result as well as damage to the telescope.

Transformer Dissectible.

Water analysis kit - the Palintest water test kit is a simple but very accurate method of determining levels of dissolved salts in water samples. Special reagents, which are compressed into tablet form, are dissolved in 10mL of the water sample contained in a special vial made from very high optical quality glass. The change in colour of the sample is measured using a photometer and the digital readout is used in conjunction with a calibration chart to determine the concentration of the substance under test. Test tablets are available for nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, sulphate, fluoride, molybdate, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, aluminium, ammonia and chlorine.
