Chemistry and physics are two of the most fundamental scientific studies of the natural world. Chemistry deals with the atomic level of matter, physics is the study of the physical universe which makes up matter.

The basis of today's chemistry is in the ancient art of alchemy whose experiments and observations lead to more sophisticated techniques and equipment. Modern chemistry and physics follow the scientific method of acquiring both theoretical and practical knowledge by observing a phenomenon in the physical world, forming an explanation or hypothesis for the phenomenon, and testing the hypothesis by means of objective, reproducible experiment.

Periodic Table and Atomic Data Wall Chart Poster

Gives atomic weights and number of electrons in each orbit. Illustrates typical atomic structure; describes protons, neutrons and nuclear principles. Features graphs of recurring properties of the elements. Large 32" x 45" size.

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Depending on the temperature, pressure, and other factors, matter can exist in different "phases" of states, the most familiar of which are solid, liquid, and gas. Matter can change states depending on its environemnt. At its boiling point, a liquid changes into a gas, and at its freezing point it will become a solid.

Poster features a photograph of the members of the Fifth Council of Physics held by the Solvay International Institute of Physics in Brussels, Belgium, October 23 - 29,1927 include such noted scientists such as Einstein, Heisenberg, Dirac, Bohr, Curie, Pauli, and Planck. A key is provided to identify the scientists pictured with brief biographical information on each.

Colorful chart for physics classrooms defines the seven base units of the SI system and distinguishes them from derived units; presents the prefixes of the metric system and the multiples for each in both decimal and exponential forms; contrasts metric and customary units of length, area, volume and mass.

Spectrum Analysis Chart

Chart features the electro magnetic spectrum and the portion occupied by the visible spectrum; emission or bright line spectra of ten elements; solar spectrum and Fraunhofer lines; Doppler effect; absorption spectra of solutions.

Line drawings illustrate the methods of producing various spectra and practical applications of spectrum analysis. Scales under each spectrum show wavelengths in Angstrom units. 27"x 47".

Electromagnetic Spectrum Chart

Developed by Westinghouse and San Francisco's Exploratorium, this chart is a series of circular bands moving outward from center that describe the electromagnetic waves. Range 1010cm to sub-atomic 10-14cm wavelength scale.
Includes: frequency scales, general and specific names, radio and microwave usage, black body curves, emission spectra and atmospheric absorption bands.

Good laboratory practices become a habit for your students with these amusing safety reminders. Poster topics include proper handling of equipment, procedures for dispensing and weighing chemicals, common laboratory precautions, and more.

Charts and Software introduce students to the current standard model of subatomic particles and their interactions.
* Fermions
* Bosons
* Simple hadrons
* Matter and antimatter
* Subatomic structures
* Properties of interactions

Alchemy, the basis of modern chemistry, mostly remembered as an attempt of transform lead (Pb) into gold (Au).

Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist, studied the roots of alchemy and connected the alchemical processes as a spiritual art having as its aim the psychological transformation of the alchemist himself.
