Earth Science<br />
Maps<br />
Map Reading Model<br />
Teaches basic map reading:<br />
how to determine location,<br />
elevation, and understand<br />
scales and symbols. Kit<br />
includes a plastic terrain<br />
model with five corresponding,<br />
stacking contour sheets; five<br />
unprinted, stacking contour<br />
sheets for projects; a wall map<br />
of the relief model with 50<br />
student project sheets; and a<br />
grease pencil. All plastics may<br />
be marked and erased. Study<br />
guide is included with 10" x<br />
10" x 2" model. Sh. wt. 1.33 kgs.<br />
SB10414M — $91.60<br />
Landforms Laminated Posters<br />
These ten, 18" x 24" posters are excellent visual supplements for geography and earth<br />
science units, and they also make beautiful additions to classrooms, labs, and libraries.<br />
Related groups of land and water features are shown in each poster. Grade 6 and up.<br />
Sh. wt. 0.88 lbs.<br />

Topographical Contour<br />
Map Reading Kit<br />
Help students understand the meaning of<br />
contour lines and other topographic maps<br />
symbols. A clear plastic raised relief model<br />
tank on an overhead projector, can actually<br />
“flood” the land to various depths. The<br />
shadow the water casts on a chalk/white<br />
board is the shape of the contour lines on<br />
the topographic map. The students will also<br />
have an opaque raised relief model of the<br />
same area as the tank model and map. Each<br />
kit includes fifteen opaque raised relief models,<br />
a clear plastic raised relief model tank, a<br />
map of the modeled area, and a reproducible<br />
activity book with worksheets about map<br />
reading, slope, and drawing cross profiles.<br />
(Food colouring and overhead projector not<br />
included.)<br />
Grade 6 to adult. Sh. wt. 1.27 kgs.<br />

The Smart Guide to Geothermal<br />
Introduce your students to this natural and efficient way of heat-<br />
ing and cooling a building. This book explores different geother-<br />
mal system options, the science and technology of geothermal<br />
heat pumps (GHPs), the costs of converting to geothermal energy,<br />
and how geothermal heating is both cost-effective and non-pol-<br />
luting. Students will learn who is using geothermal energy, how<br />
it incorporates solar energy, and understand GHP performance<br />
standards, ratings, and warranties. The book features a compre-<br />
hensive appendix with FAQs, helpful resources, and a career sec-<br />
tion. 192 pages. Sh. wt. 0.63 lbs.<br />

Making and<br />
Interpreting<br />
Topographic Maps<br />
This activity provides students with<br />
a basic understanding of topographic<br />
maps and how to interpret<br />
them. Students conduct a hands-on<br />
investigation using the Lab-Aids<br />
Topographic Model to construct contour<br />
lines and create a topographic<br />
map of an area. The activity illustrates<br />
the relationship between the contour<br />
lines on a topographic map and the<br />
actual shape of the land. Designed<br />
for six groups of 4, or at most five,<br />
students. Grades 6—12.<br />
Sh. wt. 3.25 lbs.<br />
SB44071M — $101.75<br />
Extend A Lab. Additional <strong>materials</strong> to accommodate more students for the lab listed<br />
above. Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 1.06 lbs.<br />

Topographic<br />
Map Reading Kit<br />
This four-paneled, vacuum-formed<br />
contour<br />
model demonstrates<br />
for students different<br />
methods of map<br />
reading. Three formats<br />
are represented: flat<br />
topo map, the same<br />
map in raised relief,<br />
and unprinted raised<br />
relief of the same territory.<br />
The fourth panel<br />
contains the legend.<br />
Includes a 22-page teacher’s guide, nine activities, vocabulary, and blackline masters for<br />
reinforcement. Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 0.88 kgs.<br />
SB37253M — $45.55<br />
Landforms Study Prints<br />
Colourful 9" x 15" prints show dynamic<br />
forces and natural processes that<br />
form the earth and create the physical<br />
environment which influences man.<br />
The 12 large durable prints cover<br />
volcanoes, folded mountains, fault<br />
mountains, coastlines, alluvial fans,<br />
deltas, canyons, alpine and continental<br />
glaciers, stream development, and<br />
rock cycle. Teacher’s guide included.<br />
