Horizon Renewable Energy Education Lab<br />

Grades 5-12<br />

This classroom package takes a blended learning approach to teaching green technologies with<br />

applied STEM activities throughout. Some of the activities focus on recognizing that the majority<br />

of power is produced using fossil fuels and the need for sustainable energy sources, understanding<br />

climate change, using solar panels and a wind turbine to generate electricity, building a model wind<br />

or solar farm, and understanding fuel cell technology. Includes Renewable Energy Education Set<br />

(SB46790, listed p.207 ), a renewable energy monitor for making direct solar and wind measurements,<br />

and five curriculum CDs. Requires two “AA” batteries (not included). For 4-5 students.<br />

SB48958M — $462.95<br />

PowerWheel Kit<br />

Grade 4 and up.<br />

This micro hydro generator is an amazing tool for<br />

teaching lessons about energy, hydropower, and other<br />

renewable sources of energy. Hook the PowerWheel up to<br />

a faucet or a hose, then watch it take the energy from the<br />

flowing water and convert it first into mechanical energy,<br />

then into electricity. Includes the PowerWheel, an LED<br />

light strip, a bridge rectifier, all the wiring to convert the<br />

AC output to DC for powering battery-powered devices,<br />

and a user’s manual.<br />

99.7% formaldehyde-free<br />

NASCO-Guard ® specimens are the industry standard for high-quality, low-cost, low-odor dissection specimens. Dissection<br />

labs become a positive experience for all students when NASCO-Guard ® odorless, nontoxic specimens are used.<br />

Formaldehyde-free specimens sold by other companies use various combinations of chemicals that increase odor levels and<br />

cost; reduce shelf life; and can make the dissection experience unpleasant for you, your students, and your budget. When<br />

requesting a Material Safety Data Sheet for formaldehyde-free specimens, do not accept the term “proprietary mixture.”<br />

Demand to know the chemicals you are being exposed to.<br />

NASCO-Guard ® specimens allow students to work unhampered by the odor and messiness associated with formaldehyde,<br />

and special ventilation is not required.<br />

the<br />

Advantage<br />

Safe to use and dispose of<br />

All specimens unconditionally guaranteed<br />

Low pricing includes shipping containers<br />

• Shelf life is guaranteed indefinitely when stored in originally sealed packaging<br />

NASCO-Guard ® specimens are collected, processed, and packaged by skilled technicians. In our Wisconsin facility, we are<br />

licensed and/or governed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States and Wisconsin Departments of Agriculture,<br />

and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. We follow all guidelines for euthanasia as listed in the Report of the<br />

American Veterinary Medical Association Panel on Euthanasia:<br />

www.avma.org. Worldwide collections are also monitored by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species<br />

(CITES): international.fws.gov/cites/cites.html. NASCO-Guard ® specimens are the best and safest money can buy. In the<br />

NASCO-Guard ® process, skilled <strong>Nasco</strong> technicians remove the formaldehyde fixative in a series of water baths, and then<br />

painstakingly perfuse the specimens with propylene glycol until tissue fluids contain at least 20% to 25% propylene glycol,<br />

from 0.00% to 0.25% formaldehyde, with the remainder water. A minimum of seven chemical tests are performed during<br />

this process to assure quality. NASCO-Guard ® specimens are biodegradable and suited for burial in an approved sanitary<br />

landfill or for incineration. Ambient fluids may be safely disposed of via city sewers.<br />

The Dissection and<br />

Anatomy of the Heart<br />

This useful video serves as an important teaching<br />

aid — recommended before dissection to introduce<br />

procedures, methods, and anatomy. Ideal for use during<br />

the dissection as a complement to any lab manual or<br />

as a post-dissection review. The mammalian structures<br />

of the heart are identified by use of a pig heart. Terms<br />

identified include mediastinum, myocardium, coronary<br />

sulcus, chordae, tendineae, tricuspid valve and pectinate<br />

muscle. A teaching model is shown to emphasize structures.<br />

15 minutes. Grade 7 to adult. Sh. wt. 0.75 lbs.<br />

Zoology Survey Sets<br />

Convenient sets save time and shipping costs! Preserved specimen sets are individually packaged<br />

for each student. The sets are shipped moist in vapor barrier plastic bags, not in messy fluids. This<br />

unique Vacu-Pac process eliminates over 50% of the shipping weight incurred with the use of fluid<br />

in breakable jars — an important point in this era of energy conservation, and also a savings on<br />

your total science budget. You are also spared the bothersome, time-consuming chore of sorting,<br />

packaging, and distributing various specimens. Each set includes a reclosable plastic storage bag.<br />

The Vacu-Pac process also allows an extended shelf life of several years. Small specimens are in a<br />

glass vial within the Vacu-Pac plastic.<br />

Invasive Species of the Great Lakes<br />

Offering an introduction to a long-standing problem, this kit will help your students<br />

understand the effect of invasive species and why we should help to prevent their<br />

spread. Once invasive species become established in a lake or stream, they become<br />

nearly impossible to eliminate. Their impact on a lake or stream is an area of great<br />

concern to environmentalist and sportsman alike. The kit contains samples of eight<br />

invasive species in safe, nonformaldehyde NASCO Guard ® . A complete teacher’s guide<br />

contains maps, activities, games, and information regarding this worldwide environmental<br />

problem. Great Lakes invasive species contained in this kit may include: Round<br />

Goby, Eurasian Milfoil, Ruffe, Smelt, Waterflea, Zebra Mussels, Purple Loosestrife, Alwife,<br />

Stickleback (three or five spine), Curley Leaf Pond Weed, Rusty Crayfish, and Sea<br />

Lamprey, depending on availability. Grade 5 through college. Sh. wt. 0.68 kgs.<br />

Bioquest® Inflatable Lung Kits<br />

Biology<br />

Preserved Materials<br />

By Calvin R. Fremling, Ph.D.<br />

These dramatic demonstration kits provide an impressive, unforgettable, hands-on demonstration of how lungs work and the effects of prolonged smoking by using real swine<br />

lungs. Students are able to feel the texture and fragility of the lung, as well as learning that real lungs are not like rubber balloons in a bell jar. The smoker’s lungs have a palpable<br />

internal tumor and a physical simulated external tumor to encourage students to feel the texture of the lungs, and to remember that smoking is a known cause of lung caner. The<br />

inflatable swine lungs provided with each kit have been preserved with a Bioflex, nontoxic solution that retains the texture and elasticity of fresh lungs. Note: this product contains<br />

natural tissue (colour may vary).<br />

Healthy Lung<br />

BioQuest ® Inflatable Lungs Comparison Kit<br />

This inflatable lung comparison kit is designed to demonstrate<br />

the effects of prolonged smoking. It utilizes the BioFlex<br />

preserved lungs from the Inflatable Lung Kit (LS03765M) and<br />

the BioFlex preserved lungs from the Simulated Smoker’s<br />

Lungs Demonstration Kit (LS03767M) to demonstrate to students<br />

the differences in colour and texture of smoker’s and<br />

non-smoker’s lungs. The BioQuest ® Comparison Lungs Kit<br />

SB11663M<br />

Available in three sizes & styles…<br />

Econopan—Small<br />

Pan is constructed of high-density polyethylene for years<br />

of continued use. Designed for grades 4—10 where students<br />

are involved with routine dissections using earthworms,<br />

crayfish, clams, grasshoppers, starfish, perch, and<br />

grass frogs. Outside dimensions: 10” x 7”.<br />

Disecto Module Tray System<br />

Interlocking system is designed to stack several units high<br />

to save counter space. The base has four cleats that lock<br />

firmly to the cover below. Modules can be purchased in any<br />

quantity to build an entire system based on the required<br />

capacities of your class size. Modules are designed to stack<br />

five high with specimens and instruments intact. Each system<br />

includes a storage base, one Econopan with Flex-Pad,<br />

and cover. Sh. wt. 0.85 kgs.<br />

Disecto Flex-Pad<br />

Bulk Sheets<br />

Designed to be trimmed to fit your<br />

existing dissection pans! Many teachers<br />

are concerned that the Standard Disecto<br />

Flex-Pads will not fit their present dissection<br />

pans. The Econopan, Standard, or Deluxe<br />

Flex-Pads will fit the vast majority of pans in<br />

use. These Disecto Flex-Pad Bulk Sheets can<br />

be trimmed with a scissors or utility knife to<br />

custom fit your irregular size pans. We estimate<br />

each bulk sheet to fill four dissection<br />

pans. Bulk sheet size:<br />

NASCO Disecto Flex-Pad/Pan with Cover<br />

High-Density Polyethylene Pans:<br />

• Less expensive than aluminum<br />

• Won’t rust, crack, or leak<br />

• Nonskid pads prevent movement on table<br />

• Bottom retains shape — does not become rounded with use<br />

• Not as deep — easy to perform routine dissections<br />

• Designed to be used with Disecto Flex-Pads only — not intended to be used with wax<br />

The Disecto Flex-Pad/Pan with cover is designed to allow specimens to remain in the<br />

tray between dissection periods or for an extended length of time. The clear plastic<br />

cover snaps firmly to the pan to prevent excessive moisture loss. Covers specimens up to<br />

3" high. The units are designed to stack in place or to nest for convenient storage. NASCO<br />

suggests the use of NASCO-Guard ® Humectant Fluid (see page 18) to moisten specimens<br />

between dissections.<br />

Standard Dissecting Pan—Medium<br />

For general student use in dissection. Available in both<br />

tough, high-density polyethylene and durable, one-piece<br />

NASCO’s Large Animal Dissection Tray Designed for:<br />

• Cats • Rabbits • Mink • Other Large Animals<br />

The tray is molded of heavy-gauge, high-density<br />

polyethylene for strength and rigidity. The unbreakable, lightweight<br />

tray is chemical-resistant and features a skid-resistant<br />

bottom. The 16" x 30" tray holds a 10" x 23" DISECTO FLEX-PAD<br />

as a dissecting surface. (NO WAX — NO MESS.) The trays are<br />

easily stacked for storage. A cover is available to protect the<br />

specimen during lab practicals or between dissection periods.<br />

The clear plastic cover fits firmly over the Large Animal Tray to<br />

prevent moisture loss. Cover is designed to be used with large<br />

adult specimens. The cover nestles for convenient storage, but<br />

is not designed to stack with specimens inside. NASCO suggests<br />

the use of NASCO-Guard ® Humectant Fluid (see page 18) to<br />

moisten specimens between dissections.<br />

Observing the Growth of<br />

Mutant Corn Seeds<br />

How does colour affect photosynthesis? Challenge your<br />

class to find out as they observe, measure, and compare<br />

the growth of normal vs. albino corn seeds. While both<br />

contain sufficient food to sprout, at some point the<br />

albino sprouts die. Since they lack chlorophyll they<br />

cannot carry out photosynthesis, leaving them without<br />

necessary nutrition once the initial food supply is depleted.<br />

Whose Fingerprints Were<br />

Left Behind? Experiment Kit<br />

During criminal acts, individuals often<br />

leave their fingerprints on a variety of<br />

objects. These prints, referred to as “latent<br />

Functioning Torso<br />

This 3-ft. functioning torso model provides a<br />

type of “hands-on” learning experience not<br />

available with traditional models. The torso<br />

cavity houses models of five functioning<br />

body systems:<br />

The Digestive System. Develops<br />

ideas about the passage of food.<br />

By manipulating the stomach<br />

model and listening to the<br />

sounds, students make observations<br />

about stomach action,<br />

digestive juices, and what happens<br />

to undigested food.<br />

The Circulatory System.<br />

Includes a flexible heart that,<br />

when squeezed, pumps “blood” through<br />

tubes which simulate arteries and veins, allowing<br />

students to associate heart action and pulse.<br />

The Breathing System. Clearly demonstrates, through<br />

manipulation of the “diaphragm,” the movement of air in<br />

and out of the lungs.<br />

The Urinary System. Shows the passage of blood into and out of the kidneys where liquid<br />

wastes are removed and how the wastes are disposed of through the urinary tract.<br />

The Nervous System. An ingenious demonstration of sensory response (touch, taste,<br />

smell, sight, hearing) to stimuli. As appropriate stimulation is provided, response is<br />

indicated by a small light flashing on in the brain. A comprehensive, illustrated 76-page<br />

teacher’s guide provides teaching strategies and step-by-step procedures. Grades 3—9.<br />

remarkable realism. By squeezing the heart, students<br />

can actually feel that the ventricles are thicker than<br />

the atria. To see the valves and ventricular chambers,<br />

simply flip the cardiac skeleton forward. Students can<br />

also use the replica to identify all of the large vessels<br />

entering and leaving the heart. A teaching guide is<br />

Modeling Kidney Function Lab<br />

Investigation<br />

Model the action of a kidney for a striking visual demonstration.<br />

Students construct a model of a kidney using<br />

a semi-permeable membrane to filter a completely safe<br />

solution which simulates blood. The simulated blood<br />

contains “cells” which cannot cross the semipermeable<br />

membrane, remaining in the kidney model. The resulting<br />

filtrate resembles urine, which students test for salt and<br />

other waste products. The simulated blood cells can also<br />

be seen and counted under a microscope just like real<br />

blood! Students will: investigate the function of a human<br />

kidney by constructing a model, understand the mechanism<br />

of urine formation in the kidney, observe osmosis<br />

as it relates to kidney filtration, and relate kidney function<br />

to homeostasis. For 40 students. Middle school and<br />

Experiment Kit — Lab-Aids ® No. 8<br />

This lab activity arouses a personal interest as students experiment to identify response<br />

areas of their body, and become aware of their sensory perception. Students “map” the<br />

taste sensation of sweet, salty, bitter, and sour; determine their olfactory fatigue and<br />

recovery times by inhaling different odors; actually discover that there are different<br />

nerve endings for hot and cold as they “map” a section of skin; locate nerve endings<br />

for touch (pressure) and pain, as well as determine the two-point threshold of various<br />

regions of their bodies; investigate the blind spots, dominant eye, visual accommodation,<br />

near point of vision, and afterimage; and experiment with reflex actions. Complete for 30<br />

9-Liter Student Wet Spirometer<br />

An academic-quality, highly accurate wet spirometer that combines reliability and accuracy<br />

with an increased volume to accommodate students with larger lung capacities.<br />

Specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s physiology educators. Five different<br />

respiratory volumes can be determined from measurements obtained: tidal volume (TV,<br />

the amount of air exhaled or inhaled in normal breathing), inspiratory capacity (IC, the<br />

amount of air which can be inhaled in a strenuous effort, after normal expiration), inspiratory<br />

reserve volume (IRV, inspirator capacity minus tidal volume), expiratory reserve<br />

volume (ERV, the amount of air that can be breathed out after normal expiration), and<br />

vital capacity (VC, the total volume of maximum exhalation capacity plus tidal volume).<br />

Features: large, easy-to-read scale graduations; larger-than-normal 9-liter capacity; disposable<br />

mouthpieces and one-way plastic valve for sanitary classroom use; and is easy<br />

1. MICROSLIDE ® VIEWER<br />

— it’s not a microscope.<br />

It is a tool for viewing<br />

Microslides ® without electricity<br />

or special lighting.<br />

It’s simple to operate (just<br />

insert the slide and focus),<br />

versatile, washable, and<br />

unconditionally guaranteed<br />

against breakage for<br />

five years.<br />

2. MICROSLIDE<br />

1. ® — a set<br />

of 8 or more related 35 mm<br />

images as photographed<br />

through a microscope.<br />

Arrows and letters on the<br />

picture help the student<br />

locate important features<br />

to be studied. The film is<br />

mounted in a clear acetate<br />

holder which protects it<br />

on both sides. Microslides ®<br />

cannot be easily scratched<br />

or broken. Microslides ® provide<br />

your student with the<br />

opportunity to examine<br />

microscopic <strong>materials</strong> that<br />

they might otherwise not<br />

be able to observe.<br />

3. MICROSLIDE ® LESSON<br />

SETS — text/lesson<br />

folders accompany each<br />

Microslide ® to form a<br />

complete student lesson<br />

set. Each folder contains<br />

factual information to<br />

stimulate, inform, and<br />

question the student<br />

about the topic under<br />

study. Each text folder has<br />

a handy pocket in which<br />

the Microslide ® may be<br />

stored.<br />

4. STUDENT WORK-<br />

SHEETS — designed for<br />

inexpensive reproduction<br />

by you. All boxes of Microslide<br />

® Lesson Sets 2.<br />

are<br />

provided with one copy<br />

of a corresponding worksheet.<br />

Printed on 8½" x<br />

11" white bond paper, the<br />

sheets contain questions<br />

designed to reinforce the<br />

student’s understanding<br />

of the Microslide ® Lesson<br />

Set material, and indicate<br />

the student’s mastery of<br />

the subject. An answer<br />

sheet is supplied with<br />

each worksheet.<br />

5. CLASSROOM UNITS —<br />

identical sets are packed<br />

in sturdy, labeled 4. boxes<br />

for shelf or desk storage.<br />

6. CARRYING AND<br />

STORAGE CASE — also<br />

available as an optional<br />

accessory. This durable,<br />

fitted plastic case holds<br />

ten Microslide ® Viewers.<br />

Since it weighs (with<br />

5.<br />

viewers) less than 9 lbs.,<br />

you can move viewers<br />

easily from class to class,<br />

or store them in their own<br />

dust-free environment<br />

Kelway Soil Acidity and<br />

Moisture Meter<br />

Test soil in 3 minutes! This tester is designed<br />

so that by the action of the electricity it generates<br />

it will give an accurate pH reading of the<br />

soil on the outside scale of the dial, and will show<br />

moisture content of the soil on the inner scale. The<br />

electrical energy to move the indicator is due to a<br />

potential difference between two electrodes which act<br />

to show pH value. These electrodes are constructed of special<br />

metal plates and alloys which activate each other and in<br />

turn set up an intricate electrical process generating energy that<br />

activates the indicator. Has no batteries to run down or replace. Easy to use, just push<br />

tester vertically into soil to a depth at least covering the metal plates. Read the pH on<br />

the upper scale (3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 pH values). Once pH reading is taken, push moisture<br />

Electrochemical Remediation<br />

of Wastewater<br />

Water pollution is one of the largest threats facing<br />

the global population. Water is a finite resource. Once<br />

polluted, it cannot be set aside in the hopes that the<br />

environment will “make” new, clean water. Recently, a<br />

great deal of attention has been given to less traditional<br />

alternatives to the typical process of coagulation/flocculation.<br />

One such approach receiving a good<br />

deal of attention is a process called electrocoagulation.<br />

Using Chemical Reactions to Reduce Waste<br />

Students learn that wastes from many industrial processes<br />

contain toxic or valuable substances that can sometimes<br />

be reclaimed then recycled or disposed of safely. Working<br />

in groups, students reclaim copper from a liquid “waste”<br />

containing dissolved copper chloride. They measure the<br />

effectiveness of three different metal replacement reactions<br />

at removing the copper from the “waste.” They then<br />

compare the effectiveness, cost, and safety information for<br />

each replacement reaction and decide which metal would<br />

be the best to use for removing the copper from the “waste.”<br />

Weather Ball Barometer<br />

Indicates changes in air pressure quickly and accu-<br />

Once filled the air trapped inside the ball is no longer<br />

subject to variations in atmospheric pressure. The<br />

liquid in the indicator tube, however, remains open<br />

to the atmosphere and is directly affected by atmospheric<br />

pressure. When atmospheric pressure rises,<br />

the liquid in the indicator tube is pushed down and<br />

an improvement in the weather can be anticipated.<br />

When air pressure falls, the greater pressure inside<br />

the ball causes the liquid in the indicator tube to<br />

rise, indicating that a deterioration in weather can be<br />

expected. Kit includes 1 weather ball barameter.<br />

Weather Forecasting Set<br />

Teach your students to forecast the weather! Students work together in teams to interpret<br />

weather maps from eight consecutive days. Each team initially interprets the map<br />

for a single day and constructs a weather report for that day. Teams assigned the same<br />

day then combine to prepare and present their weather report to the class. Students<br />

then use the information from all eight days to forecast the weather for the unknown<br />

ninth day. Students will learn about global patterns of atmospheric movement and what<br />

weather includes and how it works. Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 1.50 lbs.<br />

Moon Phase<br />

demonstrator<br />

Where and when does<br />

the moon appear in the sky when it has a<br />

particular phase? When is the moon visible?<br />

When does the moon rise and set in relation<br />

to sunrise and sunset? This device helps<br />

students conceptualize the answers to these<br />

questions by showing how the moon’s<br />

appearance changes over a period of one<br />

month. A phase of the moon is selected by<br />

turning the front disk, which correctly places<br />

the relative position of the sun. The Earth’s<br />

rotation is simulated by rotating the disks together<br />

from sunrise to sunset, illustrating the<br />

relative paths of the sun and moon. The rear<br />

disk is screened with a visualization of the perceived shape of the moon throughout the<br />

lunar cycle. Comes preassembled. Grades 7-12. Sh. wt. 3.50 lbs.<br />

Chemical Properties<br />

This allows students to become<br />

involved in testing chemical<br />

properties of seven different<br />

substances. The students combine<br />

seven different solutions<br />

in every possible combination<br />

and identify chemical<br />

properties by observing their<br />

reaction with other solutions.<br />

Chemical reactions<br />

that will be observed are gas<br />

production, colour changes, and<br />

formation of precipitates. After becoming<br />

familiar with the chemical properties<br />

of the solutions, students use their information<br />

to identify four unknown solutions. The kit contains terms sheets, an activity sheet,<br />

laboratory exercises, a crossword puzzle, and a test. The activity sheets introduce the<br />

chemical solutions for polyatomic ions (radicals). The laboratory exercises focus on using<br />

chemical properties as a means of identifying unknown solutions. Grades 7—12. Sh. wt.<br />

CHEMICALS<br />

Definitions of Grades:<br />

•Reagent ACS — Meets or surpasses latest American Chemical Society<br />

standards for purity.<br />

•Reagent — Does not exceed maximum limits of significant impurities as stated. Does not<br />

have ultrastringent requirements of Reagent ACS.<br />

•Laboratory Grade — Equivalent in purity to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and<br />

National Formulary (NF) listings. However, they are not offered for food, drug, or medicinal<br />

use of any kind.<br />

•Practical Grade — Sufficiently high quality for use in many syntheses and other applications.<br />

•Technical Grade — Selected commercial grades, scrupulously clean, and of reasonable<br />

chemical purity. Where usable, most economical grade and suitable for <strong>educational</strong> purposes.<br />

•Organic Chemicals — Fall into reagent, practical, and technical grades, with specifications<br />

generally determined by melting or boiling point.<br />

•Biological Stains and Solutions — We have greatly expanded our offerings of biological<br />

stains and ready-to-use staining solutions. Every effort has been made to include affordable<br />

and practical small package sizes. All dry stains are of certifiable quality. They are for<br />

use in the most exacting work in biology, cytology, etc.<br />

•Indicators — As with biological stains, we have also expanded the indicators in our chemical<br />

list. Small, practical, and affordable package sizes are included. All indicators and indicator<br />

solutions are of the highest quality for laboratory use.<br />

Due to the fact that packaging of chemicals changes frequently,<br />

quantities may vary from catalog listing, depending on availability.<br />

SpillNot<br />

An inexpensive demonstration to<br />

intrigue students and challenge their<br />

analytical powers! The design of this<br />

cup holder uses the principles of<br />

Newtonian physics to keep the liquid<br />

in the container. The flexible handle<br />

and the location of the suspension<br />

point above the center of the tray,<br />

ensure the forces on the liquid are<br />

always directed towards the supporting<br />

tray, even when the tray is in<br />

motion. The sideways forces that are<br />

usually responsible for spills are not<br />

transmitted to the tray by the flexible<br />

handle, and the radial forces generated<br />

during swinging motion only<br />

pin the liquid into the container more<br />

firmly. Includes activity guide. 4-3⁄8"<br />

Rattleback<br />

The Rattleback is a thin, half-elliptical plastic piece<br />

with a slightly offset center of gravity. This offset<br />

gravity causes the Rattleback to spin in the directional<br />

rotation of choice, usually counterclockwise.<br />

If you attempt to spin the Rattleback in<br />

the clockwise direction, strong preference will<br />

cause the Rattleback to rattle back and forth<br />

after a few rotations, stopping and the reversing<br />

the rotation back to the preferred counterclockwise<br />

direction. Includes 10 Rattlebacks and a<br />

teacher’s guide. Grades 7-12.<br />

Students may expect that lighter<br />

objects experience a lesser acceleration<br />

than heavier objects. What the students<br />

overlook is the action of aerodynamic<br />

force, which counteracts the gravitational<br />

influence. By evacuating air from<br />

the Free Fall Tube, the aerodynamic<br />

a variable in the demonstration. As a<br />

result, objects will fall with the same<br />

acceleration and reach the bottom of<br />

or a chain with a rigidly attached axle for winding up<br />

weight. Sometimes the chain or cord is replaced by a<br />

crank or spike and is used in hoisting apparatus such as<br />

cranes.<br />

Wedge<br />

One of the simplest of the simple machines, but it is capable<br />

of great force amplification. The motion of the wedge<br />

into the space between the two boards is converted to<br />

vertical motion of the top board. Small taps on the wedge<br />

can lift very large weights.<br />

Pendulum<br />

As the pendulum swings back and<br />

forth, its energy changes from potential<br />

energy into kinetic energy. But<br />

the pendulum can be used as a<br />

device to explore other concepts<br />

as well. The time for one swing doesn’t<br />

depend on the size of the swing or the<br />

mass at the end of the pendulum, only<br />

on the length. This is why the pendulum<br />

came to be used in the earliest accurate<br />

clocks.<br />

Accent: What is Density? Kit<br />

Model solids, liquids, and gases and watch how they behave to show what density means<br />

in the real world. Students will create models of a substance in different phases and test<br />

models for “sinkability” and “floatability” and relate this to density. By modeling gases,<br />

liquids, and solids, students will realize that it is a volume, not weight, that determines<br />

the behavior of a substance. The kit includes Density ID set with 12 unique samples in<br />

linseed-coated hardwood base (aluminum, brass, copper, acrylic Pyrex, rubber, Delrin<br />

plastic, PVC, Teflon, tekaform, poplar, and oak), box of 250 toothpicks, 300 blue foam<br />

12-Piece Mystery Density Set<br />

This set of 12 samples represents two sets of <strong>materials</strong><br />

(nylon and acetyl) that, while sharing similar physical appearances,<br />

represent differing densities. The set is meant<br />

to be used as an inquiry lesson in which students are<br />

asked to measure and graph the masses and volumes of<br />

all 12 pieces without the knowledge that the 12 samples<br />

actually represent two different substances. Proper analysis<br />

of the graph will point students to the conclusion that<br />

there are in fact two substances of differing densities. Use<br />

to introduce the concept of density; to reinforce the basic<br />

principle of graphing data as a means of data analysis; and<br />

wheel. All the colours of the rainbow are literally<br />

blended together as the wheel is set to spinning. 9"<br />

dia. wheel contains four distant quadrants, each with<br />

violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red<br />

wedges, in that order. A black plastic handle attaches<br />

to the center of the wheel, which can be set to spinning<br />

with an included cord. At rest, the wheel consists<br />

of separate colours. Is this still true when it's in motion?<br />

The colours remain, of course, but the wheel is<br />

turning too fast for your eyes to keep the reflected<br />

colours separate. Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 2.19 lbs.<br />

HiTechnic EOPD<br />

Sensor<br />

The EOPD or Electro Optical<br />

Proximity Detector, uses an<br />

internal light source to detect<br />

the presence of a target or<br />

determine changes in distance<br />

to a target. By generating its<br />

own light source, the EOPD is able to filter out all external<br />

light signals, so as a robot moves from bright ares to dimly<br />

lit areas or through shadows, the EOPD automatically<br />

compensates and only returns a signal based on it’s own<br />

light source. Targets can be accurately detected from<br />

distances up to about 8 inches (20 cm) depending on the<br />

target size, shape and reflective qualities.<br />

colour light emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate<br />

the target surface and measures the intensity of each<br />

colour reflected by the surface. Using the relative intensity<br />

of each colour reflection, the Colour Sensor calculates a<br />

colour number that is returned to the NXT program.<br />

Test Tube Racks<br />

These racks will not<br />

rust or stain, and<br />

have been designed<br />

so that the flow over<br />

the length is uninterrupted<br />

except by the<br />

test tubes containing<br />

samples. A high<br />

specific gravity plastic provides excellent stability with<br />

no tendency to float or move in circulating water baths.<br />

An alphanumeric grid reference on the top tier enables<br />

Royal ® Interactive Teaching Centers<br />

Is your interactive whiteboard driving you up the wall? <strong>Nasco</strong> has the solution, and<br />

it’s the most exciting piece of classroom equipment invented since the interactive<br />

whiteboard itself! Now you can use your interactive whiteboard and your wall-mounted,<br />

dry-erase board at the same time — no wasted space by having it covered up and<br />

unavailable for use! These specially designed units allow for better clarity and less shadowing<br />

of projected images than traditional ceiling-mounted projectors and wall-mounted<br />

interactive whiteboards. Store manipulatives and resources for both traditional and interactive<br />

lessons in one unit. The centers with whiteboards become interactive with the use<br />

of the whiteboard, an Epson ® Brightlink 450wi Ultra-Short Throw Interactive Projector, and<br />

interactive whiteboard software. The scratch-resistant, magnetic, porcelain enamel, dryerase<br />

whiteboard included with these carts measures 58" W x 36-1⁄2" H and features a<br />

widescreen 16:10 projection surface. If you already own a Smart Board but want mobility,<br />

storage, and increased ease of use, then the centers without whiteboards are for you.<br />

Centers support Smart Board models 640 and 660 only (not included). For interactivity,<br />

Smart Boards require the use of a Hitachi ® CP-A52 Ultra-Short Throw projector or Epson ®<br />

450w/460w Ultra-Short Throw projectors (not included).<br />

A Demo A Day - Biology<br />

Enliven the concepts of biology with these<br />

demonstrations! With more than 200 demonstrations,<br />

this book aims to supplement standards-based<br />

curriculum and serve as engaging<br />

launching pads for lessons by offering<br />

concrete visualization of abstract concepts.<br />

Because of the constraints imposed by organisms,<br />

some of the demos are extended and<br />

require from a day to a few weeks to unfold.<br />

However, all of the entries aim to satisfy the<br />

basic value of demonstration. That is, they fill<br />

only a brief portion of any given class period.<br />

Also, there are limitations on time and material<br />

resources that preclude the teaching of every concept with student<br />

hands-on participation. Some of the topics include: Process of Scientific<br />

Inquiry and Safety; Chemistry of Biology; Kinetics of Biology: Enzymes;<br />

Cells: Structure, Function, and Division; DNA and Biotechnology;<br />

Diversity of Life: Microorganisms; and Ecology and Environmental Issues.<br />

over 150 component types, ranging<br />

from power supplies and switches,<br />

through sensors and semiconductors,<br />

to expensive sets of 4000 and<br />

7400 series ICs. Drag the ones you<br />

want from the toolbars, and build<br />

your circuit by wiring between them<br />

with the mouse. Component values<br />

and real-life models are editable,<br />

and you can test your circuit using<br />

meters and graphing tools.<br />
