Featured Equipment

Electrostatics Materials

This electrostatics kit provides the necessary tools to separate positive and negative charges. Students can experiment with different combinations of cloth and rod materials to explore how each becomes charged.

Wireless Charge Sensor

Quantitatively measure electrostatic charge on an object.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
