Key Features
20 assorted metal specimens for side-by-side comparison
Electrical conductivity can be checked with a low-voltage classroom circuit
A magnet separates magnetic from non-magnetic specimens
Comparing mass and size supports discussion of density
Useful for sorting ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys
About This Product
The set suits materials-science lessons in school chemistry and physics laboratories. Students note colour, lustre and surface finish, sort the specimens with a magnet, compare their masses on a balance and, where the teacher approves, test conductivity in a simple circuit. The results help them group the samples as metals, alloys, ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What experiments can be carried out with the Metals Set of 20? Typical activities are magnet tests for magnetic and non-magnetic behaviour, mass comparison for density discussion, low-voltage conductivity checks and sorting the specimens into ferrous and non-ferrous groups.
