Soil is the loose top layer of the Earth's surface, but what is it made of? How does it form? And why is it so important? In All About Soil, children will learn what components are needed to make the best soils for growing plants while discovering the important role that the forces of erosion play in the creation of this valuable resource. A visit to a grade school showcases a unique program that uses lunch leftovers and hungry earthworms to improve the soil in the school's garden, while an informative demonstration illustrates how sand is created from the continual erosion of rocks. Part of the Earth Science for Children DVD Series. A teacher's guide is available online. 23 minutes. Grades K to 4.
Your brain controls everything you do -- from breathing, to feeling, to learning and playing. All About the Brain introduces kids to the human nervous system, which is comprised of the brain, the spinal cord and a vast network of nerves. Discover the basic units of the nervous system, and explore the functions of the three main parts of the brain: the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the brain stem. Colorful graphics and exciting, real-life examples help young students understand how messages constantly travel back and forth between the brain and all of the other parts of the body. A fun demonstration shows how the brain is protected not only by the skull, but by a layer of fluid as well. Reflexes are discussed, and an easy-to-replicate experiment is included in which kids actually measure their own reaction time. Part of the multivolume Human Body for Children DVD Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library for Children Collection. This title is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Life Science: characteristics of organisms, life cycles of organisms and organisms & environments. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades K to 4.
Most kids understand that many plants sprout from seeds, grow flowers and make new seeds, and then the whole process starts all over again. What they may not realize is that this is an example of a life cycle, and it applies to people, too! In All About the Human Life Cycle, students will discover that there are stages that all of us pass through as we grow: birth, infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Each of these is described by using real-life examples against the backdrop of a family picnic. The concept of a cycle is stressed, making it clear that the cycle of life repeats again and again with each new baby that is born. A fun activity is included in which kids witness the stages of a life cycle up close through observing the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

The explosively dangerous eruptions of volcanoes are always a sight to behold. As visually dazzling as they can be, volcanoes also play a very important role in the creation of land formations around the world. In All About Volcanoes, children will learn the ins and outs of these lava-spewing mountains, examining their anatomy while learning about three major types: shield, cinder cone and composite volcanoes. A visit to Mammoth Mountain in California focuses on the signs that this dormant volcano may be coming to life, while an informative, hands-on activity demonstrates how a volcano erupts by building a useful model.

Aluminum Metal (20 gauge sheet) - 12" x 12" x .032"
500 grams of Aluminum Metal Shot.
Aluminum metal shot is often used in classrooms for chemistry experiments and demonstrations, such as studying chemical reactions, investigating metal properties, and exploring concepts like density and reactivity. It is commonly used in reaction experiments with acids (like hydrochloric acid) to produce hydrogen gas, allowing students to observe the properties of metal reactivity and gas evolution. Additionally, aluminum shot can be used in physics experiments to study thermal conductivity and heat transfer due to its high thermal conductivity and low density.

Arthropods are animals that have an external skeleton. They are the most abundant animals on Earth but are often misunderstood. Spiders, millipedes, and other arthropods are often mistakenly referred to as €œinsects€� and €œbugs.€� This poster explains the differences.
Each of the five clades (formerly subphylum) is carefully explored. Highly detailed illustrations show an incredible 98 species, many life size. All are identified by both common and scientific names.
Insects account for the great bulk of the arthropods, and this poster includes representatives of all the major orders. The crustaceans include crabs and lobsters as well as shrimp, krill, and even barnacles. Included with them is the giant sea scorpion; this long-extinct animal is the largest arthropod that ever lived, reaching a length of six feet.
This remarkable poster even includes the prehistoric trilobites. They were the dominant life form during the Permian but became extinct. Highly educational, very attractive, and decorative, this poster appeals to teachers, students, collectors, and professional entomologists.
