New MATEX Portable Classroom Laboratory
Abstract
The MATEX 2000 scientific kit, of Swiss origin, is now available in the UK. Over 5 000 kits of this type are already being used by schools in some forty different countries. All the 210 items of equipment (see picture, right, and key on following page) are stored in a transportable hardwood cabinet with metal handles — approximate dimensions are 33in by 26½in by 10½in; approximate weight 110 lb. An illustrated ring‐back guide, provided with each kit, describes over 600 basic experiments in physics, chemistry and biology. These are above ‘O’‐level standard, but in some cases may not be sufficient for ‘A’‐level, though naturally the equipment itself could be used for experiments at any level.
