Demonstration electroscope, includes rabbit fur.
From Arbor Scientific:
This aluminum needle-based electroscope’s design makes it superior to traditional leaf-style electroscopes in part because the needle stays put when experiments are being performed, versus 'old' electroscopes where the leaves ‘flutter.' The ultra-sensitive needle pivots on an axle when an electric charge is applied to the disk located at the top of the electroscope. Includes charging ball, condenser plates, and an insulated rod. 2.4 x 3.7 x 4.1 in. (60 x 95 x 105mm). Ring diameter 150mm.

Fun Fly Stick - The electrostatics experiment that will have them thinking that you have a magic wand!
You probably have seen the Fun Fly Stick demonstration videos on the web. Its name may vary, Fun Fly Stick, FunFlyStick, Fun-Fly-Stick, but this cool little device is actually a van de graaff levitation wand and is the latest electrostatics phenomenon.
Fun Fly Stick is a must have electrostatics experiment that is as easy to demonstrate as it is fun. Turn on the levitation wand and toss one of the five flying toys included into the air. Touch the wand to the toy once and shake it off. You now have complete control over the flying toy.
Make it float! Make it dance! You can even make it levitate as high as the ceiling allows. Fun Fly Stick is an electrostatics experiment that they will not only not forget but will be begging to try themselves.
Fun Fly Stick comes with one FunFlyStick levitation wand, ten pre-cut tinsel flying shapes and manual. The name says fun!

Magnetic Linear Accelerator, or Gauss Gun, shoot steel balls from magnet to magnet, launching one at the end.
From Flinn Scientific:
Amazing! A slow-moving ball bearing collides with a magnet–ball bearing system, knocking away the last ball in the series, obeying the conservation of momentum. One problem—the knocked-away ball appears to shoot at nearly three times the original speed! When a series of magnets and ball bearings are aligned, a simple magnetic linear accelerator is created. Have the laws of physics been broken? On the contrary, this unique demonstration actually shows the fundamentals of the conservation of energy and momentum principles as well as the properties of magnetism. Similar to the energy stored in a stretched spring, or gravitational potential energy, magnetic fields also store energy and give the ball bearing its unbelievable boost. Use this accelerator to launch a ball bearing to study projectile motion. Background information and complete instructions are provided.

Demonstrate Lenz's Law with this copper pipe and two masses. One mass is magnetized. Copper pipe has a viewing window cut in to allow students to better see the effect.
From Arbor Scientific:
Watch how slowly the magnetized plug drops through the tube!
Experience the fundamental principle behind electric motors with this demonstration. Drop the strongly magnetized plug through the copper pipe, and induced currents cause it to fall very slowly. The unmagnetized plug falls without resistance. Viewing window lets you see the action, and yellow plug ends make them easier to see. Experiments and information included. Lenz's Law Apparatus allows you to demonstrate electric and magnetic forces. Electric current generated by a moving magnet will always oppose the original motion of the magnet that created the current. Amusement Park thrill rides use this same principle for braking.
