for Interactive
Whiteboard —
Osmosis &
Diffusion: Cell
Transport
Contains a comprehensive
array of multimedia
lessons and activities.
Designed for multisensory
learning, they’re
the perfect resource for
Interactive Whiteboards.
Ideal for individual student instruction on any computer. A virtual lab investigation
allows students to experiment, perform simulations, and draw conclusions. A custom
tool bar allows users to draw, write, and add arrows and text blocks to customize the
lessons by adding additional details to any screen. Consists of five modules (Lesson
Presentation, Interactive Activities, Visual Resources, Vocabulary, and Assessment) along
with a digital, inquiry-based student activity guide. Compatible with either Windows® or
Macintosh®. Grades 5-10.

Exploring Cell
Processes
Conduct several activities
designed to compare plant and
animal cells, illustrating cell structure
and processes to include
mitochondria, cell membranes,
DNA and RNA identification,
osmosis, plasmolysis, and more.
Identify and compare organelles
in plant and animal cells, relating
their structure to their specific
function. In the process, the class
learns how to make observations
and comparisons, analyze data,
relate cause and effect, and make
inferences. Enough materials for a class of 40
students. Grades 5—12. Sh. wt. 2.67 kgs.

Model Plus: The Virus
A comprehensive model perfect for
hands-on use. Designed to introduce
students to the structure of a virus. It
illustrates the major components, with
removable components that make lessons
both challenging and fun. Constructed of
resilient, non-toxic EVA foam to withstand
years of active investigation. A thorough
teacher's guide includes inquiry-based lab
activities, reproducible worksheets, background
information, assessment ideas,
and more. 19" x 13" x 3". Grades 6—10.

Why Cells Aren’t Big
Explore the limits of cell growth.
Students construct and analyze
simulated cell models of various
sizes using a specially formulated
agar to learn how cells obtain
nutrients and excrete waste.
They then use data, obtained by
measuring the cell’s volume and
calculating its surface areas, to
form conclusions about the size
limitations imposed by diffusion.

What is an Epidemic and
How Does an Infection
Spread?
This experiment contains solutions to
demonstrate how an infection is spread
in a population through contact with
simulated body fluids. Students develop
skills for accurately transferring solutions
using pipets. All components are
stable at room temperature. Experiment
includes: complete instructions, back-
ground information, and study questions;
HCI solution; NaOH; colour indicator;
test tubes and caps; and transfer pipets.
Requirements are gloves and safety
goggles. For 10 lab groups. Grades 6—12.
