Where to look for wildflowers
Tips on how to collect and grow them
Simplified range maps
As an added aid to quick and easy identification, the flowers are grouped according to color.
Simply, accurately, and graphically, this Golden Guide explains:
Massive movements of the atmosphere
Weather instruments and how they are used
The origins, development, and effects of storms
How to interpret weather maps
Full-color illustrations and up-to-date facts help you understand the fascinating phenomena of weather, and how changes are predicted.
36" x 24" full color laminated poster. "We can follow our dreams to distant stars...," declared President Reagan when he proposed this ambitious project in his 1984 State of the Union address. This poster provides a comprehensive overview of the program goals, how it got started, its various components, and its appearance when finished. The visiting Space Shuttle provides scale.

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.

Experiment with magnetism, create fun games, and amaze your friends. Magically dangle a chain of marbles from the wand, make the marbles dance without touching them, and more. Includes 1 magnet wand (7.63 inches long) in assorted solid colors and 5 bicolor magnet marbles (.63 inches in diameter). Ceramic magnets are completely encased in plastic. Ceramic magnets are the most lightweight and economical magnets. Children safety tested for ages 4+.
Useful for demonstrating momentum, conservation of energy and torque! The unit is suspended by two strong cords, which are wound around the shaft of the wheel and then released. The wheel will unwind as it falls but will wind itself back up as the momentum carries the wheel upward in the opposite direction. This oscillation process will continue for several moments as the wheel slowly loses momentum and travels less each time. Instructions included.
6 cm in diameter. Supplied with supported base with socket at top end for holding the gyroscope and demonstrating various principles.

It€™s time to start mixing things up! In this pretend STEM scenario, you are a chemist for a bath and body products company and it€™s your job to make and test different cosmetic products. Use the tools in your laboratory to employ different scientific techniques and essential chemistry principles to make soaps and bath bombs. Try out different additives to affect the color, smell, and other qualities of the products you make.
Real science and pretend play come together in this activity-filled kit that can be used alone or as an extension of the Ooze Labs Chemistry Station (a Parents€™ Choice Silver Honor winner!). As you mold different glycerin soap shapes, you learn about the chemical properties of soap that help it pick up and wash away dirt. While you€™re concocting bath bombs, you learn about how acids and bases combine to form fizzing reactions, and what a pH level is. Expand your cosmetics knowledge with an overview of the biology of skin care and other science related to soap and bath products. All materials and chemicals are non-toxic.
