Invicta Combined Pan and Bucket Balance Set

Invicta’s Combined Pan and Bucket Balance contained within this set is a precision beam balance set that can be used for measuring liquids, solids or a combination of both. By combining different sized buckets with removable pans children need only to use a single piece of equipment to show many maths and science concepts, meaning there is no need to keep introducing new equipment. Included within the set are enough materials for whole class use.

• The spirit level in the centre of the balance provides a very quick visual confirmation on whether the items compared are balanced or not.
• By adjusting the balancing compensators on the underside of the balance children can put liquid into the bucket on one side whilst balancing weights on a pan the other side.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• 1 set of clear 2500 ml/cm3 buckets (x2)
  
• 1 set of clear pans (x2)
  
• 1 set of large lids (for use with the buckets)
  
• Set of coloured weights (1 g x 20, 5 g x 20 & 10 g x 20) >

WHAT IS A BUCKET BALANCE USED FOR?

Bucket balances, frequently called scales are designed for easy and accurate measurement of loose fill materials or liquids such as sand or water. Both sets of ‘buckets’ in this set are made from clear wipeable plastic with volumes marked on the outside enabling children too easily see and record exactly what is in the bucket.

WHAT IS A PAN BALANCE USED FOR?

Pan balances are probably the most recognisable of scales, so recognisable they are used almost uniformly as the symbol for ‘justice’ or ‘balance’. Pan balances are used to determine the mass of a solid object by balancing it with a known mass.

By combining a pan and bucket on a single balance you can determine the mass, volume or density of a given object easily
