Eisco Labs Pith Electroscope

EISCO pith electroscope is used to demonstrate static electricity. The electroscope has two pith balls suspended on unspun silk threads which are attached to a pillar to test for charged objects. The pillar is made of plated brass for durability, and is mounted on a plastic base for display. Brass is corrosive resistant, ductile at high temperatures, and has a low magnetic permeability. The electroscope is suitable for high school or college students, or ages 14 to 21.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
