teaching tool for science teacher

May I present the humble ping pong ball

it can demonstrate
buyouancy place a beaker of water on a scale, a ping pong ball will float what will the scale read?
velocity and acceleration roll it or throw it
gravity drop it
projectile motion toss it

it can model
planets
moons
atoms
protons
quark

And they must be locked up, students love to play with them.
