Product overview

The Giant Inflatable Solar System from Learning Resources turns a classroom into a hands-on model of our cosmic neighborhood. The set contains 11 durable, washable inflatables: the Sun, all eight planets, Pluto and Earth's Moon, ranging from 5 to 23 inches in diameter, with the 23-inch Sun as the centerpiece.

Students can handle the planets to explore their order, position, relative size and shape, and use them to act out rotation, revolution and orbits in three dimensions. Each piece has a hanging loop for ceiling or wall displays, and the full-color designs make the planets easy to identify.

A foot pump, repair kit and activity guide with planet facts are included. The inflatables deflate for compact storage, so the set can be reused year after year for space units and science displays.

    Microscope B-65 Monocular Brightfield

    The OPTIKA B-65 is an educational biological microscope for brightfield observation. It has a monocular head inclined at 45° that rotates 360°, a WF10x/18 mm eyepiece secured by a screw, and four achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 40x and 100x oil) with anti-fungus treatment, giving magnifications from 40x to 1000x. The StagErase™ mechanical stage measures 125 x 125 mm with a 62 x 24 mm X-Y range and a vernier scale, and scratches on its surface can be erased. Focusing is coaxial coarse and fine with a limit stop to prevent contact with slides, and an Abbe N.A. 1.25 condenser with iris diaphragm is pre-centered and focusable. Illumination is a 1 W LED with brightness control, powered by rechargeable batteries or a multi-plug external power supply, so it can be used without a fixed power outlet in school labs.

    MX2-AS Digital Microscope 100x–1600x (Wi-Fi, 4" touchscreen)

    The MatataStudio Digital Microscope MX2-AS pairs optical magnification with a digital camera so students can study the microscopic world on a screen instead of through an eyepiece. Its 4.3-inch capacitive display folds up to 135 degrees, and the microscope can be lifted out of its stand for handheld use indoors or outdoors. Learners can zoom continuously (about 9X to 72X on screen), switch between incident and transmitted lighting for solid objects or slides, and apply an on-screen color tint to bring out detail. Images and video are saved to 8GB of built-in storage, and Wi-Fi or a USB-C cable sends the live view to phones, tablets or computers, so a whole class can watch the same sample. The 2MP camera supports recording and measurement. The kit includes the microscope, MX stand, five prepared slides, two observation chambers, a USB-C cable, an exploration manual, two user guides and a storage bag, making it suitable for biology, geology and general science lessons.

    Microscope Set 100/450/900X – 36 pcs

    This Eastcolight microscope set (models 21361/21362/21363, available in blue, black or red) gives young scientists a complete starter kit for exploring cells, fibres, insects and other small specimens. The roughly 8.6-inch microscope offers three magnification levels, 100x, 450x and 900x, so students can move from an overview of a sample to finer detail. Alongside the microscope, the set includes a magnifier, tweezers, a dissecting needle, 12 blank slides, 12 blank labels, one prepared slide, five cover slips and two collecting vials, plus an instruction manual. Two LR41 button batteries are included to power the microscope. In the classroom, students can collect samples in the vials, mount them on blank slides with cover slips, label their work and compare observations at each magnification, building practical skills in preparing and examining specimens.
