GSC International ELSTCH-01-CS  Electrostatic Charge Kit. Case of 10.

Hands-On Static Electricity Experiment Kit for Physics & STEM Classrooms

The GSC International Electrostatic Charge Kit is a comprehensive static electricity classroom kit designed to help students explore electrostatic phenomena through hands-on experimentation. Using a wide variety of friction materials, rods, and accessories, students actively investigate how electric charge is generated, transferred, and observed.

This engaging electricity and magnetism lab kit supports inquiry-based learning and makes abstract concepts such as attraction, repulsion, and charge transfer visible and interactive for students.
