Description

QSL Physics Lab kit AOP

This kit is coordinated with Alpha Omega click here for curricula coordination information).  The kit helps students really understand physics topics. The 32 labs (34 if counting the introductory experiments) guide students through real experiments using similar equipment found in public and private schools. The innovative hands-on laboratory exercises were developed to be usable in a home or classroom while clearly teaching scientific principles. Step-by-step instructions enable the student to successfully accomplish each experiment with little to no instructor supervision. These are serious physics lab experiments to prepare your students for higher education. Use with adult supervision, for ages 14 and up.
