Horizon Renewable Energy Education Lab 

Grades 5-12 

This classroom package takes a blended learning approach to teaching green technologies with 

applied STEM activities throughout. Some of the activities focus on recognizing that the majority 

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

climate change, using solar panels and a wind turbine to generate electricity, building a model wind 

or solar farm, and understanding fuel cell technology. Includes Renewable Energy Education Set 

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

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

SB48958M — $462.95 

PowerWheel Kit 

Grade 4 and up. 

This micro hydro generator is an amazing tool for 

teaching lessons about energy, hydropower, and other 

renewable sources of energy. Hook the PowerWheel up to 

a faucet or a hose, then watch it take the energy from the 

flowing water and convert it first into mechanical energy, 

then into electricity. Includes the PowerWheel, an LED 

light strip, a bridge rectifier, all the wiring to convert the 

AC output to DC for powering battery-powered devices, 

and a user’s manual.

99.7% formaldehyde-free 

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

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

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

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

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

Demand to know the chemicals you are being exposed to. 

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

and special ventilation is not required. 

the 

Advantage 

Safe to use and dispose of 

All specimens unconditionally guaranteed 

Low pricing includes shipping containers 

• Shelf life is guaranteed indefinitely when stored in originally sealed packaging 

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

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

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

American Veterinary Medical Association Panel on Euthanasia: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

landfill or for incineration. Ambient fluids may be safely disposed of via city sewers.

Zoology Survey Sets 

Convenient sets save time and shipping costs! Preserved specimen sets are individually packaged 

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

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

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

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

packaging, and distributing various specimens. Each set includes a reclosable plastic storage bag. 

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

glass vial within the Vacu-Pac plastic.

Bioquest® Inflatable Lung Kits 

Biology 


By Calvin R. Fremling, Ph.D. 

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 

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 

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 

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 

natural tissue (colour may vary). 

Healthy Lung 

BioQuest ® Inflatable Lungs Comparison Kit 

This inflatable lung comparison kit is designed to demonstrate 

the effects of prolonged smoking. It utilizes the BioFlex 

preserved lungs from the Inflatable Lung Kit (LS03765M) and 

the BioFlex preserved lungs from the Simulated Smoker’s 

Lungs Demonstration Kit (LS03767M) to demonstrate to students 

the differences in colour and texture of smoker’s and 

non-smoker’s lungs. The BioQuest ® Comparison Lungs Kit

NASCO’s Large Animal Dissection Tray Designed for: 

• Cats • Rabbits • Mink • Other Large Animals 

The tray is molded of heavy-gauge, high-density 

polyethylene for strength and rigidity. The unbreakable, lightweight 

tray is chemical-resistant and features a skid-resistant 

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

as a dissecting surface. (NO WAX — NO MESS.) The trays are 

easily stacked for storage. A cover is available to protect the 

specimen during lab practicals or between dissection periods. 

The clear plastic cover fits firmly over the Large Animal Tray to 

prevent moisture loss. Cover is designed to be used with large 

adult specimens. The cover nestles for convenient storage, but 

is not designed to stack with specimens inside. NASCO suggests 

the use of NASCO-Guard ® Humectant Fluid (see page 18) to 

moisten specimens between dissections.

Observing the Growth of 

Mutant Corn Seeds 

How does colour affect photosynthesis? Challenge your 

class to find out as they observe, measure, and compare 

the growth of normal vs. albino corn seeds. While both 

contain sufficient food to sprout, at some point the 

albino sprouts die. Since they lack chlorophyll they 

cannot carry out photosynthesis, leaving them without 

necessary nutrition once the initial food supply is depleted. 

The activity serves as an excellent demonstration of 

mutation in plants as well as the role of chlorophyll in 

photosynthesis. Enough materials for a class of 40

Enliven the concepts of 

biology with these demonstrations! 

With more than 

200 demonstrations, this 

book aims to supplement 

standards-based curriculum 

and serve as engaging launching 

pads for lessons by offering 

concrete visualization of 

abstract concepts. Because of 

the constraints imposed by 

organisms, some of the demos 

are extended and require 

from a day to a few weeks to unfold. However, all of the 

entries aim to satisfy the basic value of demonstration. 

That is, they fill only a brief portion of any given class 

period. Also, there are limitations on time and material 

resources that preclude the teaching of every concept 

with student hands-on participation. Some of the topics 

include: Process of Scientific Inquiry and Safety; Chemistry 

of Biology; Kinetics of Biology: Enzymes; Cells: Structure, 

Function, and Division; DNA and Biotechnology; Diversity of 

Life: Microorganisms; and Ecology and Environmental Issues.

Food Digestion 

Lab 

Investigation 

Explore how food is processed 

by the body. This 

lab demonstrates how 

complex food molecules 

break down into smaller 

molecules with the aid of 

digestive enzymes. Students 

will learn the parts 

of the digestive system, 

understand where digestion 

occurs for each food 

nutrient, use digestive 

enzymes to break down 

food nutrients into its 

subunits, and study the 

major food nutrients and their function within the human body. They will treat common 

foods (such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and others) with various digestive enzymes 

and identify their subunits. Provides enough materials for 40 students. Grades 7—10.

Modeling Kidney Function Lab 

Investigation 

Model the action of a kidney for a striking visual demonstration. 

Students construct a model of a kidney using 

a semi-permeable membrane to filter a completely safe 

solution which simulates blood. The simulated blood 

contains “cells” which cannot cross the semipermeable 

membrane, remaining in the kidney model. The resulting 

filtrate resembles urine, which students test for salt and 

other waste products. The simulated blood cells can also 

be seen and counted under a microscope just like real 

blood! Students will: investigate the function of a human 

kidney by constructing a model, understand the mechanism 

of urine formation in the kidney, observe osmosis 

as it relates to kidney filtration, and relate kidney function

soils of North America, determine 

how soils are formed, and create 

a sample soil profile using the 

provided soil horizon cards. They’ll 

analyze the soils in the profile and 

describe the environmental conditions 

that influenced their formation. 

Students can also gather local 

soils, create a profile, and determine the environmental changes that caused those soils to 

form. Easy-to-use, portable, and practical soil cards allow students to construct a soil profile in 

the field and then analyze it when they get back to the lab — with far less mess than using 

core samples. Enough materials for 40 students. Grades 7-10. Sh. wt. 3.50 lbs.

Kelway Soil Acidity and 

Moisture Meter 

Test soil in 3 minutes! This tester is designed 

so that by the action of the electricity it generates 

it will give an accurate pH reading of the 

soil on the outside scale of the dial, and will show 

moisture content of the soil on the inner scale. The 

electrical energy to move the indicator is due to a 

potential difference between two electrodes which act 

to show pH value. These electrodes are constructed of special 

metal plates and alloys which activate each other and in 

turn set up an intricate electrical process generating energy that 

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

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

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

button on side to obtain the moisture reading (0, 50, 70, 100% moisture). Only 6½" 

long, weighs 8 oz. Carrying case with belt loop; complete instructions. Six-month 

guarantee, fully serviceable. Sh. wt. 0.81 lbs.

Electrochemical Remediation 

of Wastewater 

Water pollution is one of the largest threats facing 

the global population. Water is a finite resource. Once 

polluted, it cannot be set aside in the hopes that the 

environment will “make” new, clean water. Recently, a 

great deal of attention has been given to less traditional 

alternatives to the typical process of coagulation/flocculation. 

One such approach receiving a good 

deal of attention is a process called electrocoagulation. 

Electrocoagulation is a coagulation process carried out 

by an electrical charge.

Weather Ball Barometer 

Indicates changes in air pressure quickly and accu-

Once filled the air trapped inside the ball is no longer 

subject to variations in atmospheric pressure. The 

liquid in the indicator tube, however, remains open 

to the atmosphere and is directly affected by atmospheric 

pressure. When atmospheric pressure rises, 

the liquid in the indicator tube is pushed down and 

an improvement in the weather can be anticipated. 

When air pressure falls, the greater pressure inside 

the ball causes the liquid in the indicator tube to 

rise, indicating that a deterioration in weather can be 

expected. Kit includes 1 weather ball barameter.

Modeling Convection Currents 

Small groups of students can use unique Lab-Aids®/ 

SEPUP materials to investigate convection currents 

in water and develop an operational understanding 

of the relationship between 

water temperature 

and its movement.

then be applied to 

geology as students 

analyze data about the 

earth’s layers and convection 

currents in the 

lithosphere. The information 

gathered from 

these experiments is 

then combined 

to explain the 

motion of the

Chemical & Mechanical Weathering of Rocks 

What impact do chemicals and the elements have on rocks? Your students will observe 

the action and rate of such chemical weathering processes as oxidation, carbonation, 

and acidity. They’ll also gain 

insight into the relationship 

environmental factors such as 

temperature and abrasion have 

with rocks. Investigations will 

reveal what factors most influence 

chemical and mechanical 

weathering. In the process, they 

will determine which rock types 

are affected the most by each of 

these processes and, conversely, 

which chemicals and elements 

have the greatest impact on 

the rocks. Grades 5-12. Sh. wt.

Moon Phase 

demonstrator 

Where and when does 

the moon appear in the sky when it has a 

particular phase? When is the moon visible? 

When does the moon rise and set in relation 

to sunrise and sunset? This device helps 

students conceptualize the answers to these 

questions by showing how the moon’s 

appearance changes over a period of one 

month. A phase of the moon is selected by 

turning the front disk, which correctly places 

the relative position of the sun. The Earth’s 

rotation is simulated by rotating the disks together 

from sunrise to sunset, illustrating the 

relative paths of the sun and moon. The rear 

disk is screened with a visualization of the perceived shape of the moon throughout the

Chemical Properties 

This allows students to become 

involved in testing chemical 

properties of seven different 

substances. The students combine 

seven different solutions 

in every possible combination 

and identify chemical 

properties by observing their 

reaction with other solutions. 

Chemical reactions 

that will be observed are gas 

production, colour changes, and 

formation of precipitates. After becoming 

familiar with the chemical properties 

of the solutions, students use their information 

to identify four unknown solutions. The kit contains terms sheets, an activity sheet, 

laboratory exercises, a crossword puzzle, and a test. The activity sheets introduce the 

chemical solutions for polyatomic ions (radicals). The laboratory exercises focus on using

SpillNot 

An inexpensive demonstration to 

intrigue students and challenge their 

analytical powers! The design of this 

cup holder uses the principles of 

Newtonian physics to keep the liquid 

in the container. The flexible handle 

and the location of the suspension 

point above the center of the tray, 

ensure the forces on the liquid are 

always directed towards the supporting 

tray, even when the tray is in 

motion. The sideways forces that are 

usually responsible for spills are not 

transmitted to the tray by the flexible 

handle, and the radial forces generated 

during swinging motion only 

pin the liquid into the container more 

firmly. Includes activity guide. 4-3⁄8"

the clockwise direction, strong preference will 

cause the Rattleback to rattle back and forth 

after a few rotations, stopping and the reversing 

the rotation back to the preferred counterclockwise 

direction. Includes 10 Rattlebacks and a

Free Fall Tube 

Students may expect that lighter 

objects experience a lesser acceleration 

than heavier objects. What the students 

overlook is the action of aerodynamic 

force, which counteracts the gravitational 

influence. By evacuating air from 

the Free Fall Tube, the aerodynamic 

forces can be virtually eliminated as 

a variable in the demonstration. As a 

result, objects will fall with the same 

acceleration and reach the bottom of 

the tube at the same time. Consists of a 

plastic tube that is closed at each end 

by a vacuum-tight cap. The bottom cap is fitted with a stopcock for air evacuation.

(nylon and acetyl) that, while sharing similar physical appearances, 

represent differing densities. The set is meant 

to be used as an inquiry lesson in which students are 

asked to measure and graph the masses and volumes of 

all 12 pieces without the knowledge that the 12 samples 

actually represent two different substances. Proper analysis 

of the graph will point students to the conclusion that 

there are in fact two substances of differing densities. Use 

to introduce the concept of density; to reinforce the basic 

principle of graphing data as a means of data analysis; and 

to test students’ abilities to properly collect dimension, 

mass, and volume measurements. Additional material may 

be needed. Ideas for supplemental activities are included.

Alternative Energy 

Fuel Cell 10 Car & 

Experiment Kit 

With this unique kit, you can build 

your own experimental reversible 

fuel cell car to learn more about this 

energy source. With more than 30 

experiments and demonstrations, 

users will learn how a reversible fuel 

cell works to perform electrolysis as 

well as to create energy. The electricity 

required to activate electrolysis is 

created with a large solar cell included 

with the kit. During electrolysis, water 

is separated into hydrogen and oxygen 

and the resulting energy is stored as a

HiTechnic EOPD 

Sensor 

The EOPD or Electro Optical 

Proximity Detector, uses an 

internal light source to detect 

the presence of a target or 

determine changes in distance 

to a target. By generating its 

own light source, the EOPD is able to filter out all external 

light signals, so as a robot moves from bright ares to dimly 

lit areas or through shadows, the EOPD automatically 

compensates and only returns a signal based on it’s own 

light source. Targets can be accurately detected from 

distances up to about 8 inches (20 cm) depending on the 

target size, shape and reflective qualities. 

1443M — $62.95 

HiTechnic Colour 


Add a spectrum of colour to 

your models with the HiTechnic 

Colour Sensor! The Colour 

Sensor is “tuned” to standard 

LEGO ® colours. The sensor 

operates by using three different 

colour light emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate 

the target surface and measures the intensity of each 

colour reflected by the surface. Using the relative intensity 

of each colour reflection, the Colour Sensor calculates a 

colour number that is returned to the NXT program. 

1368M — $62.95 

Ultrasonic Sensor 

The ultrasonic sensor is able 

to detect an object and 

measure its proximity in 

inches and centimeters. 

The sensor sends out a 

signal and waits for its 

return; measuring the 

elapsed time, the sensor 

determines distance to the object! 

1150M — $39.95 

Light Sensor 

Updated and improved 

from our original light 

sensor, the NXT version

high-efficiency, LED illumination — so there are no bulbs to 

replace and no concerns about overheating the eggs during 

inspection. Suitable for any size egg up to goose eggs. Supplied

Royal ® Interactive Teaching Centers 

Is your interactive whiteboard driving you up the wall? Nasco has the solution, and 

it’s the most exciting piece of classroom equipment invented since the interactive 

whiteboard itself! Now you can use your interactive whiteboard and your wall-mounted, 

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

unavailable for use! These specially designed units allow for better clarity and less shadowing 

of projected images than traditional ceiling-mounted projectors and wall-mounted 

interactive whiteboards. Store manipulatives and resources for both traditional and interactive 

lessons in one unit. The centers with whiteboards become interactive with the use 

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

interactive whiteboard software. The scratch-resistant, magnetic, porcelain enamel, dryerase 

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Demo A Day - Biology 

Enliven the concepts of biology with these 

demonstrations! With more than 200 demonstrations, 

this book aims to supplement standards-based 

curriculum and serve as engaging 

launching pads for lessons by offering 

concrete visualization of abstract concepts. 

Because of the constraints imposed by organisms, 

some of the demos are extended and 

require from a day to a few weeks to unfold. 

However, all of the entries aim to satisfy the 

basic value of demonstration. That is, they fill 

only a brief portion of any given class period. 

Also, there are limitations on time and material 

resources that preclude the teaching of every concept with student 

hands-on participation. Some of the topics include: Process of Scientific 

Inquiry and Safety; Chemistry of Biology; Kinetics of Biology: Enzymes; 

Cells: Structure, Function, and Division; DNA and Biotechnology; 

Diversity of Life: Microorganisms; and Ecology and Environmental Issues.

ENGAGING EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 

Yenka Electronics 

Lets you design and simulate 2D circuit 

schematics, testing and refining 

your design as you work. There are 

over 150 component types, ranging 

from power supplies and switches, 

through sensors and semiconductors, 

to expensive sets of 4000 and 

7400 series ICs. Drag the ones you 

want from the toolbars, and build 

your circuit by wiring between them 

with the mouse. Component values 

and real-life models are editable, 

and you can test your circuit using 

meters and graphing tools. 


Yenka PCBs 

An add-on for Yenka Electronics, which converts circuit designs into 3D PCB simulations 

and exports them for manufacture. Real-PCB - a powerful design tool - runs in 

the background, and automatically places components and routes tracks. When your 

PCB is ready, you can interact with controls in either the 2D or 3D views; both views are 

simulated concurrently.
