Description
Our clear-view tubes are a fascinating way for kids to get hands-on experience with friction, flow and speed! Each tube is designed to showcase a different aspect of motion—children simply flip the tubes and watch as the angle of a track determines the speed of the balls, the size of a funnel controls flow…and the smoothness of the track controls how fast or slow the balls move! You get a set of 3 permanently sealed tubes; each measures 13 1/2".

These are a favorite

July 20, 2018 - By Christie from San Antonio, TX

My three year old loves these tubes. He does prefer the two with the balls and can play with them for quite a while. The sand one just doesnt get much of his attention. Perhaps because its the slowest and quietest of the three. Overall a great buy.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Hands-on, visual, and auditory!

September 15, 2015 - By Room308from Henryetta, OK

These tubes allow students to repeatedly observe how friction, speed, and flow affect motion in a contained object. The visual and auditory feedback hold the attention of my special needs students very well.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
