The Falling Bodies Apparatus is a valuable tool designed for hands-on experiments and demonstrations in physics classes and STEM education.

This apparatus features an L-section launcher with precision-positioned holes to accommodate two 19mm diameter steel balls, serving as projectiles for experiments.

Operated by a simple push-button release mechanism, this launcher enables the projection of one ball forward while allowing the other to fall freely under the influence of gravity.

Mounted on a stable wooden block (measuring 180 x 60 x 30mm), this apparatus can be securely bench-clamped for controlled experiments. Additionally, it includes a convenient storage pocket tailored to house the steel balls, ensuring ease of use and organization.

In the classroom, the Falling Bodies Apparatus facilitates various scientific experiments. It allows students to explore concepts such as projectile motion, gravitational acceleration, and the effects of air resistance on falling objects. By analyzing the trajectories and observing the motion of the steel balls, students can gain a practical understanding of fundamental principles in physics.

Ideal for Key Stage 4 (KS4) and beyond, this apparatus enriches STEM education by providing an engaging platform for students to conduct experiments, make observations, and deepen their understanding of the laws governing motion and gravity.
