EF-BU Base Unit: (Click to see more information)
- Can be assembled in vertical (landscape and portrait), inclined and horizontal configurations (clear assembly instructions provided for each)
- Toolless assembly
- Base Unit backboard has a screen-printed grid reference which all assembly instructions refer to for the location of parts
- Screen-printed design also includes a measuring scale to help identify correct length thumb screws etc.
- Sturdy common base for all EF experiments to be assembled on
- Improve the students dexterity by self-assembly with graphical instructions provided
- Simple grid reference system to assist with assembly of experiments
- Flat-pack for easy storage
- EF-BU on which to build the experiment from the tray components
- Level and stable work surface to mount the EF-BU upon.
The optional EF-WS is ideal for this if no suitable desk or bench is available
