About This Product
Used in chemistry, physics and general science lessons, the set lets students record the colour and surface finish of each specimen, sort the samples with a magnet and compare their masses. They then group the specimens as metals, alloys, ferrous and non-ferrous materials and return each one to its labelled storage position.
