Atom Squasher by Science Museum from £2.84
This pack links to the Forces and Motion and the Materials area of Launchpad and shows how the minute movement of atoms is responsible for the way things behave when they collide. Contents include: steel balls, plastic dish.
When you bounce steel balls or bend paper clips, you are actually moving or ‘squashing’ the billions of atoms that make up the material! With the steel balls in this pack, you can see what happens when hard materials such as ball bearings are compressed or squashed. You can see things bounce that you never thought were bouncy and you can make one of the most famous gadgets in science - Newton’s Cradle.
