Science Lab Equipment & Teacher Resources
Powered by PASCO
Our award-winning, hands-on science tools and datalogging solutions connect your students directly to science and STEM concepts with classroom technology such as sensors, interfaces, and data collection and analysis software. We also design and manufacture high quality lab equipment for physics and engineering and offer curriculum solutions (textbooks, e-books, and integrated lab technology) for physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and K-8 Science.
Our award-winning Wireless Sensors utilize Bluetooth Low Energy technology and effortlessly sync with Mac and Windows, smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks to display live, interactive data.

Teacher Spotlight: Using PASCO's Smart Cart to Show the Relationship Between Potential and Kinetic Energy
Physics educator, Greg Jacobs, demonstrates potential and kinetic energy using the PASCO Smart Cart.
Lab Activities & Experiments
Telescope and Microscope
Students construct an astronomical telescope, a Galilean telescope, and a compound microscope on the optical bench. Using a viewing screen with grid, they find and describe the ways in which images are...
Reflection and Refraction
Students experimentally derive the Law of Reflection for curved and flat mirrors. Snell’s Law is explored and the index of refraction for a piece of acrylic material is found.
Mechanical Waves
Standing waves in strings and air columns are studied. Using a sine wave generator to drive a string vibrator, the driving frequency, length, density, and tension of the string are varied to explore standing...

PASCO scientific has been an innovator in science education and science lab equipment for over 50 years.
What began as a science fair project has become a trusted source for high quality school laboratory equipment in the United States and around the globe. We carry lab supplies for your physics classroom and chemistry lab, as well as supplies for biology, life science, engineering, and environmental science. Request a catalog!
For the educational physics lab we invented carts and tracks, which are now standard teaching tools used worldwide. Our technology leadership continues with the award-winning Smart Cart, which removes the wires while providing new ways to study kinematics on and off the track. We also carry just about all laboratory supplies, from rods, clamps, and Ohaus balances to mass and hanger sets and laboratory glassware. See our full offering of lab supplies.
For the chemistry lab we have the equipment you need: test tubes, ring stands, pH meters, digital microscopes, and much more. We also have test kits for environmental sciences and science kits for electricity, waves, machines, and more.
