Details

Inertia is the tendency of an object to either remain in motion or remain at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. A glass ball is balanced on a platform sitting on a support rod. As a metal arm is pulled back and released, it abruptly pushes the platform out of the way and, given the ball’s inertia, it remains in place. The ball then falls straight down onto the support post which has a small indent to hold the marble.

The platform is connected by a string to a screw on the support rod, so it is easy to recover after being launched. The connecting screw also prevents the metal arm from hitting the ball, so it experiences no outside force. Best if used on a level surface. Includes activity guide.

  • Repeatable results
  • Includes two marbles
  • Tethered platform for easy recovery and resetting

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
