Riction and Inclined Plane Kit with Base Unit and Software

Description

Description:
 Hould demonstrate kinetic and static sliding friction and rolling friction on bodies, and between
different surfaces on a flat or inclined plane.
 Flexible and modular with sensible size parts – should fit onto the work panel for experiments and
simple classroom demonstrations.
 Should be supplied in a hard-wearing storage tray with molded insert to hold parts securely and a
graphical list to help check the kit contents.
 Rugged and durable parts for safe ‘hands-on’ experiments – allowing better understanding.
 Should be manufactured in accordance with the latest European Union directives.
 Should contain an inclinable flat metal plate for experiments in frictional forces and the classic
‘forces on an inclined plane’ experiment.
 The manufacturer should be UKAS management system certified and should be mentioned in
ISO certificate that has to be submitted.
 This kit should include parts for experiments in friction and forces on a flat or inclined plane.
 The plane should have an inclinometer and adjustment to allow the student to set the plane to any
angle between zero and 90 degrees.
 The parts should include different friction surfaces, a roller set, a rolling car or sled with
adjustable mass, and a simple roller.
 Students should be able to fit the different parts to the plane and apply masses.
 They learn how different surface finishes and mass affect friction and how surface angles and
mass affect forces around a body on a plane.
 The experiments must introduce students to important engineering and scientific terms, such as
the coefficient of friction, sliding friction and kinetic friction.
 The inclinable plane should allow students to do the classic ‘forces on an inclined plane
experiments.
 It also should show the relationship between frictional forces and angles other than horizontal.
Learning Outcomes:
 Forces on an inclined plane.
 Rolling and sliding friction on different surfaces.
 Kinetic and static sliding friction between different surfaces.
 Surface angle and friction between different surfaces.
 Main parts: Inclinable plane, car or sled, different surfaces, weight hangers & weights and roller
set.
 Should be included with 2-ton Air Cooler with installation as standard.
 Should be supplied with below Engineering Science Work Panel (Base Unit) as standard for
conducting Friction and Inclined Plane.
Kit experiments:

 Should be supplied with digital copy of all teaching material needed for the full Engineering
Science range.
 Users should be able to fit the parts of their kit to the Work Panel to study or demonstrate an
engineering science topic.
 Stable and multi-positional – to be used in many different ways to suit the experiments or
demonstrations.
 Solid, thick perforated metal plate for long life and choice of fixing positions for the experiments.

ready-made, online and auto-graded assessments that is compatible with selected engineering
science experimental kits.
 Should save academic time from repetitive tasks.
 It should be a collection of readymade, online and auto-graded assessments that complement
practical teaching and experimental lab work, enabling students to test their understanding of an
associated Engineering Science kit experiment.
 Should be designed to actively encourage and empower learning by testing students’ ability to
correctly record experiment observations, and undertake data analysis, calculation practice,
graphing and evaluation of experimental results.
 Must be powered by a unique assessment engine that recognizes individual errors, should guide
students through an assessment with instant, personalized feedback based on the accuracy of data
submitted, providing them the means to master key engineering principles.
 Should automatically mark and track a student’s progress for the educator, enhancing the overall
teaching experience with no time spent marking papers.
 Customizable dashboard.
 Interactive and dynamic learning environment.
 Announcements sharing course news and new materials.
 Interactive and editable graphs and auto solve.
 Student performance reports.
 Timeline mode to enable educators to replay student learning.
 Should be supplied with license for below experiments –
 Forces kit and Moments kit.
 License should be academic license.
 Set-up must be included.
 Maintenance and support should be included.
