OB-Scertainer ® Kit
(Scientific Method)
— Lab-Aids ® No. 100
This kit allows students to “think scientifically." Its
emphasis is on behavioral reaction, rather than what it
is. Emphasizes the development of the scientific method
of problem solving. Students develop a hypothesis
about the inner configuration of an Ob-Scertainer ® by
indirect observation. They test their hypothesis and
make a new one, if necessary. The students continue to
experiment and can verify their hypothesis if so desired.
The kit consists of 24 opaque chambers (two each of 12
different interior structures) and steel balls. This reusable
kit can be used by 24 students simultaneously. Sh. wt.
1.59 kgs.

Integrating Science
with Mathematics
& Literacy
Offers more than 20
performance assessments
that promote
student engagement.
Assessments can be used
in building understanding
of content and processes,
development of complex
thinking skills, aptitude
of science, and ability to make real-world connections.
Each clearly articulated task correlates with current
research and focuses on learning indicators linked to
state and national standards. The assessments also model
inquiry-based science in ways proven to increase student
achievement, allowing learners to demonstrate their
understanding of embedded concepts through exploration,
inquiry, and application.

How Scientists Do Science
Teach students basic problem-solving skills! Challenge
them to develop and test a hypothesis which determines
the ideal environmental conditions for specially encapsulated
sponge animals to emerge from their “cocoons.” In
the process, they learn the basics of how scientists design
experiments, control variables, gather information, summarize
and present data, and solve scientific problems.
Enough materials for a class of 40 students. Grades 5-12.
