Educational Tools and Products

Educational tools and products are used in classrooms and other educational settings to teach specific lessons or elements related to a specific discipline. Examples of scientific educational tools and products include physics experiment instruments, wave generators, and electronic breadboards for making electronic circuits.

Educational tools and products are very useful for teaching scientific fundamentals to students. Specially-designed educational products allow students to try out their own equipment or experiments, giving them firsthand experience of the methods used in the field. For example, students can use an electronic breadboard to learn how to set up and test an electronic circuit. The breadboard is a flat empty circuit board with many holes in it for plugging in various electronic components without the need for soldering. Underneath the board are a series of metal strips which serve as connections for the components. Other educational tools and products include wave generator or oscilloscope software that is used to analyze sound waves or other signals. Educational software is a common tool used in the classroom today, and can include materials for learning a foreign language or conducting chemistry experiments.

Educational tools and products include other educational materials and workshops that are designed to immerse students in a particular topic. Workshops can be as simple as a day-long visit to a facility or as complex as an intensive course of study of a certain discipline. Educational science- or technology-based workshops are designed for particular age groups and are often conducted in conjunction with a large organization, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Special educational tools and products include those used to teach students how to conduct experiments, or how to test specific laws of physics. A physics education tool may include software used to conduct force and acceleration experiments, or a kit to build a telescope, or components to build and test the stability of structures or strength of materials.
