Dear Fellow Educators, Home Schoolers & Science Enthusiasts,
Welcome to our 2013 Catalogue of amazing, intriguing and hard-to-find
science related items.
We use and demonstrate many of our items on a daily basis during our visits to
classrooms in Victoria. They are the ones that work for us, so in order to assist you, we have
drawn up a list of suggested products that will complement the Australian curriculum (see p 41).
We supply notes and classroom tips with many of our products, enabling you to integrate these
items seamlessly into your curriculum.
Thanks for your continued support and wishing you a fulfilling science teaching year!
Sincerely,
Carl Ahlers

Density Tubes Kit
This is a very special density column. Students drop a mixture of
blue and white beads into a tube, add alcohol, water and salt and
. . . the beads will auto-separate. But then amazingly the two bead
layers slowly move closer together to the middle of the liquid layer
. . . How can beads float in the middle of the liquid? What part
does the salt play? Can be used over and over. Original idea by
Lynn Higgins of Polymer Ambassadors.

Expanding Cubes and Spheres
Super absorbent polymers absorb large volumes of water when placed in water and are turned into
hydro gels. The volume change can be an incredible 250x of the original volume and is fully reversible. The gelled polymer contains up to 95% water so it has the same optical density as water and
becomes invisible in water . . .

Expanding Spheres (Gigantic)
This is the most amazing absorption demonstration we have experienced! Grow gigantic
water spheres in hours! Pop the 15 mm soft spheres in water and in 48 - 72 hours (2 - 3
days) you will have gigantic water gel spheres up to 77 mm in diameter! And as they
contain 98% water, the clear spheres will be invisible in water. Add food colouring to the
water (3 drops per 250 ml water) to produce coloured water spheres. Leave them out
of the water and they’ll shrink back to the original size, then recycle them by expanding
in water again. They make great decorations in flower vases but no one can resist the
amazing slippery gel feel!
Age: 6+ with adult supervision.

Integrate math and science classes by making students graph and
investigate the growth of these creatures in length, width, mass and

Lenz’s Law Tube
This is one of our favourite
demos in the physics
classroom! As the powerful
neodymium magnet drops
through the aluminium tube,
eddy currents are generated
in the tube and these oppose
the movement of the magnet.
The resultant force slows
the magnet down so it falls
at constant speed taking 10
seconds to emerge.

aluminium tube, a neodymium

Solar Vacuum Heat Collector Tube
One of the best inventions of the decade from Australia! The solar
vacuum heat collector tube is the best thermal collector on the
market. It consists of a strengthened double-wall borosilicate
glass tube with the area between the inner and outer walls
evacuated. This acts as a thermos to keep heat from escaping
into the atmosphere via conduction and convection.
While the outer wall is fully transparent to allow solar energy to
pass through unimpeded, the inner layer is treated with a selective
black optical coating which absorbs IR energy radiation with
minimal reflection.
As the tubes are round, they act as passive tracking solar
collectors too. In full sunlight pasteurization temperatures can be
reached in less than 30 minutes and water will boil in 50 minutes.

Walligator Climbatron Robot
The Walligator is a robot with four powerful ‘suction’ cup feet. It can scale any
smooth surface such as glass, mirrors or plexiglass vertically or horizontally. Its
internal air pressure pump constantly changes the air pressure below the rubber feet
so that the higher atmospheric air pressure in the room can push the
Walligator against the surface: “Science never sucks, only pushes or pulls”,
Walligator has moving eyes and a visible pumping mechanism with an
