This program looks at the wide range of climates in North America and around the world, and examines how factors such as the sun, wind, temperature, precipitation and position of Earth determine the weather for a particular region. Live footage, vivid graphics and a hands-on experiment help to clearly illustrate these concepts. One of six volumes in the Weather Fundamentals DVD Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library in Action Collection. This title correlates to the National Science Education Standards for Earth and Space Science -- structure of Earth's system, Earth's history and Earth in the solar system. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online that features additional information on the topic, vocabulary words, discussion questions, follow-up activities and lists of recommended books and Internet resources. 23 minutes. Grades 4 to 7.
Cobalt chloride crystals are commonly used in classrooms for chemistry experiments and demonstrations, primarily to study chemical properties and investigate reactions involving moisture and hydration. The most notable uses include:
-
Indicator for Humidity and Hydration: Cobalt chloride is a popular indicator for moisture because it changes color based on its hydration state. In its anhydrous form, cobalt chloride is blue, and it turns pink when it absorbs water. This property makes it ideal for demonstrating reversible chemical changes and teaching about hydration and dehydration reactions.
-
Le Chatelier’s Principle Demonstrations: Cobalt chloride can be used to illustrate Le Chatelier's Principle. By adding water or applying heat to the crystal, students can observe the reversible color change, demonstrating shifts in equilibrium due to changes in temperature or the presence of a reactant.
-
Testing for Water Presence: Cobalt chloride paper, which is made using the crystals, is used in chemistry and environmental science labs to detect water vapor in various gases or liquids.
Due to its potential toxicity and the fact that it can cause skin irritation, cobalt chloride should be handled with proper safety measures, including wearing gloves and protective eyewear.
Comparative Anatomy: Dissection uses systematics and anatomy to illustrate the similarities and differences of systems in different organisms. Students learn how advances in medicine have come from the careful study of organs and have an opportunity to discuss the ethical codes of scientists. Through a lab investigation, students become comfortable with the scientific tools and habits of mind used in the fields of gross anatomy and histology. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.

Using the Crucible Cradle will help alleviate many of the problems associated with the proper handling of the crucible. You can now eliminate the need for the use of crucible tongs. Many students find the use of tongs awkward and end up dropping the crucible. The Cradle will also eliminate the need to touch the crucible after it has been heated. Oils from the finger tips can add weight to your final results, and throw off your findings.

Cupric sulfate (copper(II) sulfate) reagent fine crystals are widely used in classrooms for chemistry experiments and demonstrations, primarily due to their distinct blue color and diverse chemical properties. Common educational uses include:
-
Chemical Reactions and Color Changes: Cupric sulfate is often used in experiments to demonstrate various chemical reactions, such as double displacement reactions and redox reactions. For example, when zinc metal is placed in a solution of cupric sulfate, a redox reaction occurs, producing copper metal and zinc sulfate.
-
Electrolysis and Electroplating: Cupric sulfate is commonly used in electrochemistry experiments to demonstrate the principles of electrolysis. Students can use it to deposit a layer of copper on a metal object, illustrating the concept of metal plating.
-
Crystallization and Hydration Studies: Cupric sulfate crystals are ideal for studying crystallization and hydration. In its hydrated form (CuSO₄•5H₂O), it is a vibrant blue, but it turns white upon heating when it loses its water molecules. This change is used to teach about the effects of hydration and dehydration on compounds.
-
Identifying Presence of Water: Cupric sulfate can also be used as a qualitative test for water. The blue hydrated form turns white when heated (as it becomes anhydrous), and when a drop of water is added to the anhydrous form, it turns blue again. This makes it an excellent tool for illustrating reversible hydration reactions.
-
Demonstrating Copper Ion Properties: The distinct blue color of cupric sulfate is due to the presence of copper(II) ions in solution. It is often used to teach students about the behavior of transition metals and their unique colors in aqueous solutions.
Cupric sulfate should be handled carefully, as it is toxic if ingested and can cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper safety equipment, including gloves and goggles, should be used during experiments.

The Daily Schedule Pocket Chart makes displaying daily classroom schedules easy! This pocket chart was designed with three columns of pockets in 14 rows (42 pockets total). You can display 14 separate events or subjects together with the analog clock faces and digital time cards. Start off by writing the time on the write and wipe clock face and place it in the first pocket. Find the corresponding digital time or write it on one of the 24 blank time cards. Place that card in the second pocket. Finally, find the subject that occurs during this time or write it on one of the 9 blank subject cards provided. Now you have the first activity in your schedule completed. Continue this process as you go through your daily schedule.
The Daily Schedule Pocket Chart is big enough for students to read what is next in the schedule and at what time it occurs, but does not take up much space in the classroom. The bright colors of the cards make the times stand out so they are easy to read.
The Daily Schedule Pocket Chart is also helpful for students who arrive late or for those who want to know where the class is throughout the day. Telling time and organizing your classroom has never been so easy!

Our light comes standard with all of the features that you would pay more for on competitive lights. Features such as a photocell which automatically turns the light off when the surrounding light conditions make the light ineffective... Sunny daylight hours are an excellent example of this. This feature greatly extends the life of the batteries as the light only operates when it can be seen. Increased battery life not only saves you money on batteries, but on the labor required to service the light as well. Another key feature is our 3-Way Switch. This switch allows a single light to serve two purposes. Each of our lights operates in either flashing or steady-burn modes. It only takes a simple turn of the switch to change the personality of our lights. Another cost- saving feature is that our light will accept batteries in any orientation as long as the springs are pointing up. There is no need to wonder if the battery is positioned properly, there will be no more batteries thrown out because it was thought that they were bad, when the real problem was the battery turned in the wrong direction. Compare our light to the competition and you will see that we out-shine them every time. Battery not included.
