Nalgene polypropylene graduated cylinders have molded graduations and are used to measure liquids in laboratory applications. Polypropylene construction improves reading accuracy by preventing meniscus from forming, resists most chemicals, and provides dimensional stability. Non-wetting surfaces are impervious to liquids. The rounded base is ribbed to provide stability and prevents rolling or tipping. A molded pour spout reduces dripping and spills. The cylinder is heat resistant to 135 degrees C/275 degrees F.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
