Carolina Wastewater
Treatment Kit
Now you can experience the physical, chemical, and
biological processes of a wastewater treatment plant
without leaving the classroom. Using a nonhazardous
organic solution to simulate sewage, students
observe changes through the aeration, bioremediation,
and filtration stages — without the odor. Student
are actively engaged in this activity by recording and
graphing the decomposition of organic materials over
time. This easy-to-assemble kit is battery powered,
so it’s completely portable. Everything is included to
accurately replicate the workings of a real wastewater
treatment plant. Overall size: 12" L x 4" W x 20½" H.
Grades 9-12. Sh. wt. 8 lbs.
SB47423M — $292.70
Kit Refill. Includes consumable
components. Sh. wt. 2.75 lbs.
SB47424M — $47.55
Earth Science
Environmental Labs
Carolina Acid Deposition Kit
Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the sources and effects of acid
deposition through a progressive series of hands-on pH and buffering activities.
Combining real-world atmospheric and geologic data with the knowledge gained
from laboratory exercises, students are challenged to predict the areas of highest acid
deposition impact. This all-inclusive, easy-to-use kit allows 24 students to explore a
large-scale, environmental pollutant without leaving the classroom. Grades 9-12.
Sh. wt. 19 lbs.
SB47432M — $222.55
Carolina Testing Soil Productivity Kit
Examine the AP topics of soil and soil dynamics, focusing on the properties of composition,
permeability, macronutrients, and ion exchange. Exercises provide a fun and active
way to add an inquiry-based lab to your curriculum. Using comparative analysis with
the clay and sand specimens provided, students hypothesize on the productivity of
their unknown sample. Contains equipment and materials for a class of 24 to test locally
collected student soil samples. Kit is reusable with the Replacement Set (below). Grades
9-12. Sh. wt. 38 lbs.
SB47429M — $178.45
Replacement Set. Sh. wt. 31 lbs.
SB47430M — $107.05
Carolina Exploring Air
Pollution Generated by Fossil
Fuel Kits
Students investigate the cycle of
ground level ozone by measuring
fossil fuel air pollutants and the
contributing environmental
factors. They also collaborate
to relate the health
hazards of air pollution
to human health, using
the Air Quality Index.
These activities provide
an excellent opportunity
to discuss ways to
reduce air pollution generated
by everyday activities.
Grades 9-12.
Classroom Kit. For 24 students
working in eight groups of three students.
Kit includes air pollution detector tubes, syringe
pump, ozone test cards, UV test cards, and a teacher’s manual. Sh. wt. 12 lbs.
SB47421M — $640.25
Demo Kit. Includes three sample gas detector tubes and a syringe pump. Sh. wt. 8 lbs.
SB47422M — $229.70
Carolina Exploring
Biodiversity Kit
Use the scientific method to explore
complexities of biodiversity with this
flexible yet comprehensive exercise.
The kit’s habitat cards, sticky traps, and
bait allow 24 students to design their
own field research activity to explore
invertebrate island biogeography.
Adapt the lab to fit any field trip constraint,
from school grounds to remote
locations. Grades 9-12. Sh. wt. 13 lbs.
SB47431M — $263.00
Carolina Coriolis Effect and Atmospheric Circulation Kit
Through investigations that use 2-D and 3-D models, students develop a working knowledge
of the Coriolis Effect. They then use their understanding of this concept to learn
about its influence on Earth’s atmosphere and climatic conditions. This kit contains a
teacher’s manual with reproducible worksheets and enough materials for 24 students
working in groups of 3 or 4. Grades 9-12. Sh. wt. 10 lbs.
SB47434M — $309.40
