Your students will become junior detectives, honing their forensic skills by solving the mysteries surrounding a fictitious "crime scenario". They'll conduct a series of forensic analysis activities to determine if a crime has been committed. Each activity is centered around a particular analysis technique to include toxicology, chromatography, finger printing, document analysis and simulated blood typing.
Observe the use of microbes for oil degradation. Model various spill scenarios and monitor the effectiveness of the provided freeze-dried oil-degrading microbe mixture in remediating the waste. Set up a simulated oil spill in water and treat it with the special microbial product to observe the physical changes degradation of oil film over time. Additionally, they simulate three spill scenarios on beach sand, gravel and cobbles in order to observe the difference in degradation rates. The class also explores bioremediation methods for other waste chemicals and compares their effectiveness to traditional clean-up methods. Grades 7-10.

Proper dissolved oxygen levels are essential for aquatic ecosystems. A dissolved oxygen level of 5 mg/L or greater will support healthy growth of most fish species. Other applications include monitoring in waste water treatment plants, determination of BOD and COD. This test kit uses an adaptation of the Winkler method to determine dissolved oxygen. Includes 100 tests.

Two plates 250mm in diameter are supported in two rigid uprights and driven by hand in opposite directions. They are heavy, high-resistance plastic with sectors of aluminum sheets. Leyden jars (condensers) made of borosilicate glass and aluminum foil store electricity until discharged by the dischargers. The whole unit is mounted on a wooden base.
• Almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun
• Explore the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells
• Learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy
• Learn how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by energy
• Build a praying mantis model that moves like an insect and is solar powered
In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun. Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors. Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the sun, oceans heated by the sun, and Earth's weather systems sustained by the sun. Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago. Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. There are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other kits in our Physics line. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects. Developed with Greenpeace in Germany. Ages 8 and up.
• Build your own motorized vehicles and machines with a wireless remote control unit
• Unique six button infrared remote control
• Three motors can be combined to make complex vehicles and machines
• Assemble up to 10 models
• 48-page illustrated color instruction book included
• Kit comes with everything you need
• Ages 8 and up
The unique six button infrared remote allows you to control three different motors simultaneously, moving each of them forward or in reverse, with easy-to-activate touch sensors. The three motors can be combined to make complex vehicles and machines in numerous configurations limited only by your imagination. Assemble ten models demonstrating different ways in which the motors can be used including a bulldozer, car, three-wheeler, crane, antique car, plow, folding car, formula one racer, three-blade dozer, and robotic arm. After you have built the models in the instructions, you can design your own remote control creations! The kit comes with three motors, remote control unit, battery holder, and building blocks. Collaborate with your fellow junior engineers to build fantastic and functional remote-control creations! The 48-page color instruction book gives illustrated step-by-step instructions for the models to help children learn through play and develop their mechanical understanding, creative thinking skills, and hand-eye coordination.
Kit contains 15 sterilized, wrapped warn owl pellets; 1 owl pellet Teacher's guide; 1 bone-sorting poster; 1 vole skeleton poster and 1 food web poster.
Provide your classroom with an unforgettable, hands-on lesson on ecology and the food chain. Your students will dissect owl pellets to study the skeletal remains of the raptor's prey and, using a dichotomous key, identify the species consumed. Also construct a rodent skeleton from the recovered skeletal prey. With their findings, students will construct a food web, compiling a summary of the owl's diet in order to estimate the diversity of the prey available in the ecosystem.
