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 />
