Gyroscope Kit Demonstration

The gyroscope's unintuitive behavior has astonished scientists for centuries. The Gyroscope Kit includes everything you need to demonstrate this odd behavior. This kit includes a gyroscope, a two-axis gimbal, a pull string, a flat base, and a rocking base. This manual includes demonstration instructions, theory on gyroscopic precession, and a STEM section explaining how gyroscopic precession is used in technology today. The gyroscope is a fun tool that can motivate students to explore rotational motion.

All metal construction except for plastic bases. Consists of 2 plastic bases, 4 diameter, one flat and other with a rocker, to experiment on, as to what happens when the base is moving. The Gyroscope is mounted in a metal ring 3.5 inch dia, Gyroscope wheel 2.25 inch dia. Comes complete with spinning cord. Total height 7.5.
