The Mega Mirror — it’s impossible not to play with it. Students lean in, turn it, laugh, and suddenly realize they’re exploring reflection, symmetry, and image formation firsthand. It’s simple, visual, and endlessly curious—just the way Leonardo would have studied light.

Definitely the Gyroscope Wheel. It’s almost impossible not to smile when you’re standing on a rotating platform and feel the pull of angular momentum in action. That moment when your brain and body both get it—that’s what makes physics unforgettable.

What We Do
We partner with educators recognized for their expertise, to find, create, develop and support exemplary resources that are not only affordable, but when properly implemented, will provide a more engaging and positive learning environment so that each student may achieve a higher level of learning. We then encourage and foster an environment where these resources and best practices are shared within their community.
A Note From Our CEO

We thank you for your dedication to making your classroom a fun and engaging learning environment. The mere fact that you are looking at this website shows your passion for taking your classroom to the next level. We are so proud to be able to help support you in your mission to teach the bright science minds of tomorrow."
Jennie Kristofferson
Chief Executive Officer, Arbor Scientific
About Jennie
Jennie began her career over 27 years ago as a math teacher and quickly saw that real learning sticks when students build meaning before being told the concept. Hands-on resources, like those from Arbor Scientific, are key to that process—and this belief has guided her work ever since, from the classroom to executive leadership roles in publishing, supplemental resources and edtech at organizations like Nearpod, Amplify, Pearson (now Savvas), Hand2Mind, and most recently as CEO of Pathful.
With her mix of classroom experience and big-picture vision, Jennie is excited to guide Arbor Scientific into its next chapter—bringing the magic of physics into even more areas of science. She believes the coolest parts of science start with physics, whether it’s powering a chemistry demo, shaping an earth science model, or sparking curiosity in STEM.
