GSC International N-00016 Archimedes Sticks Set 3 rods of aluminum, brass, and stainless steel, which are engraved with 1cm divisions.

This versatile kit is an invaluable resource for teaching Archimedes’ principle in physical science classrooms or a homeschool, blending precision, simplicity, and interactive learning.

Interactive Demonstration of Archimedes’ Principle: This set of three square metal rods of aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. The kit provides a practical way to explore Archimedes’ principle. Students can measure the buoyant force acting on a submerged portion of each stick, revealing how the upward force relates to the weight of the displaced fluid. This hands-on approach makes complex concepts like buoyant force and displacement volume understandable.

Precise Measurements with Engraved Scales: Each stick is precisely sized at 1 x 1 x 11 cm and features engraved 1 cm divisions on all sides, allowing 360-degree readability. When the stick is submerged, the scale provides an exact volume (1 cm³ per cm depth), simplifying the measurement of the displaced water and corresponding buoyant force.

Material Comparisons for Deeper Understanding: The set includes sticks of three different materials, each with distinct weights and specific gravities (relative densities). By comparing how each material interacts with water, students learn how differences in material properties and density affect buoyancy, leading to a richer understanding of Archimedes’ principle.

Simplified Experimentation with Complementary Tools: When used with Narika’s Newton Meter, item number N-00001, the sticks allow students to easily measure buoyant force without the need for additional tools. This streamlined setup makes the experiment easy to understand while reinforcing concepts such as water pressure and the relationship between weight, volume, and buoyancy.

Engaging and Versatile Educational Tool: This kit transforms abstract physics concepts into engaging, visual experiments. Students gain hands-on experience with buoyant force, water displacement, and relative density, building intuition for fundamental principles in physical science and engineering.
