Our expandable optics system provides everything you need to perform high-quality investigations in any physics lab. Introduce students to the fundamentals of optics with our comprehensive Basic Optics System; then build on the basics with a variety of optics accessories that support detailed studies of color, interference and diffraction, polarization, and more.
PASCO Interfaces Comparison
We offer a variety of interfaces with diverse applications. Some of our products, such as the PASPORT and ScienceWorkshop sensors, require an interface, while others do not. This helpful page compares interface features, applications, and connectivity to help you decide which interface will serve you best.
PASCO Structures System
PASCO’s Structures System offers realistic, hands-on tools for students to design and create life-like structures in the classroom. Intended for teaching principles of engineering and mechanical design, these systems are ideal for civil and mechanical engineering education courses. Materials range in complexity from single trusses to dynamic kits for design-based experimentation. This guide explains and compares all of our Structure System options and accessories.
pH Sensors & Probes
A pH sensor is a type of probe used to measure the pH of solutions in chemistry, biology, and other science applications. pH probes are often used to determine the basicity or acidity of an aqueous solution.
Photogates, Fences, and Timers
Photogates, fences, and timers are a staple of every physics lab. We’ve developed two standalone photogates, as well as two software-dependent options with varying capabilities and applications. This page compares our products’ functions, applications, and connectivity to help you select the perfect fit for your lab.
Physics Lab Stations
PASCO’s Physics Lab Stations are modular equipment sets that support hands-on studies of core physics concepts, ranging from introductory investigations of Newton’s laws to advanced explorations of waves and sound. Designed for easy implementation, the Physics Lab Stations facilitate experiments across all levels of physics.
Projectile Launchers & Ballistics
PASCO’s Projectile Launchers provide an exciting, hands-on method for students to experiment with projectile motion. Each of our affordable launchers is precision engineered to produce highly accurate and repeatable results with every launch. This page compares capabilities, size, and applications for our Projectile Launchers and Ballistics.
Rotary Motion Sensors
Rotary motion sensors, often referred to as rotary encoders or angular position sensors, are vital components in the realm of science and engineering, designed to measure and track the rotational movement of objects with precision. These sensors are employed to determine the angular displacement, speed, and direction of rotation of various mechanical components such as motors, shafts, and wheels.
Select The Right Light Sensor
PASCO light sensors provide students with an accessible method for visualizing real-time light data in a variety of forms. Whether you’re looking to study ambient light, diffractions, or atomic spectra, this page will help you find an affordable light sensor for your applications.
Select The Right Pressure Sensor
Our pressure sensors are dynamically designed to apply to a variety of subject applications including physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental studies. This page provides a comparison chart for our ScienceWorkshop, PASPORT, and Wireless Pressure Sensors to help you determine which sensor is best for your classroom or lab.
Software Comparison: SPARKvue or Capstone?
We offer two, highly powerful software options to facilitate the collection, display, and analysis of experimental data. Both SPARKvue and Capstone have specialized features that enhance the user’s experience, but their applications differ. This page breaks down the differences in features and applications to help you decide which software will best enhance data collection and analysis in your lab or classroom.
