Classical mechanics is the study of bodies in motion (and at rest), under the action of a system of forces, according to general principles that were first stated in the seventeenth century. Classical mechanics was the first branch of physics that was developed. It has important applications in other branches of physics and also in other areas of science such as astronomy, chemistry, biology, geology and engineering. The NeuLog Mechanics Kit includes the essential items for learning mechanics. Along with the NeuLog logger sensors (not included), the kit is designed to provide a simple and intuitive learning experience.

The kit consists of:

Two utility stands, Three right angle clamps, Extension clamp, Two paper baking cups, Paper cup, Ball, Ball pump, 3 m measuring tape, Sellotape, 1 meter track, Two track riders, Two track legs, Cart with hook, Reflector plate, Two 20″ rods, Two magnets in plastic cases, Rod with pulley, Rod with pulley (perpendicular), Pulley with hook, Two boss heads, Thread, Slotted mass hanger, Slotted mass holder rod (for the cart), Two 10 g slotted masses, Three 50 g slotted masses, Two 100 g slotted masses, 500 g mass, 1000 g mass, 60 cm wooden lever ruler, Fulcrum, Rough and smooth wooden block with hook, Two postal rubber bands.

A bar magnet has two ends, known as the magnetic poles. One pole is called the north pole of the magnet and the other pole is called the south pole of the magnet. Unlike magnet poles attract each other and like poles of magnets repel each other. Magnets also attract other materials which are not normally magnetic (various sorts of metals). They create a magnetic field in the space around them.

A compass needle is a magnet and it always point to the geographic north (unless it is interrupted by another magnet), lining up with the magnetic field of the earth. The magnet’s field strength varies inversely as the square of the distance from it. This kit allows students to compare, in a very simple way, the magnetic field of two different magnets. Also, the dependence of the intensity of the magnetic field on the distance is easily experienced.

The kit consists of:

Alnico bar magnet, Two magnets in plastic cases, Ruler.

Visible light waves are seen by the human eye as different colors and they are characterized by their wavelength. The length of the wave determines the amount of energy it has; the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy.

When visible light with an energy distribution similar to sunlight (light of all colors) completely reflects from an object, this light appears white to the human eye. When the object completely absorbs all the light, it is recognized as black. With this kit, students will learn about these and more light principles.

A solar cell is a device that converts sunlight energy directly into electrical energy by the photovoltaic effect. This kit, allows students to investigate the electricity generated from the irradiation of light.

The kit consists of:

Photovoltaic cell, Two microscope slides, Utility stand, Right angle clamp, Extension clamp, Ruler, Sellotape, Four colored flashlights (Colorless, Blue, Green and Red) with batteries, Four colored filters (Colorless, Blue, Green and Red), White paper, Black paper, Grey paper, Thin box for shadow experiments.

Thermal conductivity, is a physical property, which measures the capacity for heat conduction, or the capacity of a substance of transfering the kinetic movement of its molecules to its own adjacent molecules or to other substances with which it is in contact. Depending on the composition of the atoms of a material, the heat may move very slowly, or very quickly. This dependence is quantified by the coefficient of thermal conductivity. For example, thermal conductivity is higher in metals and is lower in gases. In this kit, a qualitative and a quantitative study of the thermal conductivity of different solids such as copper, brass and steel, is conducted.

The kit consists of:

Thermal conductor (with three metal bars: copper, brass and steel), Candle, Eighteen small candles for qualitative measurements, Candle holder.

*It is recommended to use three temperature sensors at the same time 

An ideal gas can be characterized by three parameters: volume, pressure and temperature for a certain amount of gas.
Maybe the first problem with this gas law is its name. When students hear the term ideal gas law, they interpret that in reality this law does not describe correctly the behavior of gases, in spite the fact that real gases usually agree with the predictions of the ideal gas equation to within 5%.
This kit allows students to investigate, with the help of logger sensors, the dependence of pressure on a gas (air) with changes in temperature and volume.
The kit contains a metallic cylinder with inlets to measure gas temperature and pressure through sensors and an inlet for a syringe to change the total volume of the gas (air).

The kit consists of:

Gas study device (55 ml volume), Three perforated rubber stoppers, Non-perforated rubber stopper, 50 ml syringe, Three candles.

Distillation is a method for separating mixtures based on their different boiling points. The separation is conducted by boiling and condensation. What happens to the temperature of a liquid during the boiling process? You might think that the temperature goes up smoothly, but this is not so. The graph of temperature against time is called a heating curve. In general, the longer the heating continues, the temperature goes up. However, there are horizontal flat parts on the graph which happen when there is a change of state. The plateaus are also called phase changes.
With this kit you will be able to investigate this fascinating behavior through measurements of both pure water and a mixture of water and alcohol or acetone.

The kit consists of:

Still head, 25 ml round bottom flask, Condenser, Receiver, Alcohol lamp, Two 50 ml beakers, Utility stand, Right angle clamp, Extension clamp, Four boiling stones.
