14-Block Set of Various Solid Materials

14-Block Set of Various Solid Materials for Educational Demonstrations

Fourteen blocks of different materials are an excellent teaching aid for presenting and discussing in class the differences and physical-chemical properties of solids, as well as for determining the densities of various materials. The blocks have approximate dimensions: 50 x 40 x 30 mm (wood, hard paraffin, aluminum, steel, Styrofoam), 20 x 20 x 100 mm (plexiglass, glass, slate, aluminum, soft wood, marble), 50 x 50 x 20 mm (lead), 20 x 20 x 50 mm (brass) and 40 x 40 x 20 mm (steel). Based on this teaching aid you can also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using specific materials in everyday life and in industry, making it useful in general education (science, physics, chemistry) as well as in teaching vocational subjects.
