ManyLabs has created a collection of sensor kits for science classrooms. Each kit will be accompanied by web-based interactive lessons that incorporate live sensor data. These interactive lessons will guide students through using the sensors and exploring scientific concepts.
In addition to these lessons, each kit will have a teacher’s guide. ManyLabs is providing full support and documentation for teachers. We will also provide connections between the lessons and the Next Generation Science Standards. We think technology should help teachers, not replace them.

This cart is designed for Physics classrooms. Three Physics Kits, two netbooks, one portable data recorders, and other kits are stored on a heavy-duty cart that can be wheeled around and shared from classroom to classroom.
Documentation and interactive lessons are on manylabs.org.
Electromagnetism
An electromagnetism kit with alligator cables, battery holder, 3-axis compass, screw terminal, bar magnet, high-strength disc magnet, electromagnet kit, motor kit, and infrared motor tachometer.

Pulley and Pendulum
This kit includes an infrared sensor that can measure the motion of a pulley or pendulum. The pulley and pendulum attachments can be swapped. Includes 20 washers for use as weights for the pendulum. Also includes a right-angle clamp for a ring stand.
[hr]
Force Probe
This is a force sensor for use in physics classrooms. It can sense pushing and pulling force, and will measure displacement from masses approximately 200g to 2kg (pulled downward by Earth gravity).
