Atomic Energy - 6 Transparencies
Clarify the basic principles of atomic energy with this set of six transparencies with 9 overlays. Includes Atomic Structure, Periodic Chart, Atomic Fission, Atomic Fusion, Chemical Change and Nuclear Reactor. |
|
Heat Transfer Kit
Used to observe and measure heat transfer, students fill one container with water at room temperature and the other with boiling water. A thermometer is placed in each container. Students observe heat lost and gain. Includes two insulated containers with slotted lids, a U-shaped aluminum transfer bar, and two thermometers. |

Little Shop of Physics
The Little Shop of Physics is a hands on science program at Colorado State University. Little Shop of Physics provides kits of instructional materials which allow open-ended exploration of science concepts in a way that is engaging, exciting and effective. Each kit will support up to five groups of students. There are several "demos" in each kit that are intended to be done either by the whole class or by the teacher for demonstrational purposes.
Each kit contains a DVD and detailed lesson guide.

Electrolysis Kit
This kit provides a means for breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen to reaffirm the make up of water. The two stainless steel electrodes are heavily insulated and the two electrical connection leads are equipped with extra-large clips. Also included are two rubber gaskets to provide positive seals for the filled test tubes while they are being inverted and placed into a beaker. Glassware is
not included.

Fire Syringe Kit
Designed to provide a safe but very dramatic demonstration of the generation of heat by gas under compression. The piston inside a heavy-walled combustion tube is housed inside a transparent plastic outer cylinder which provides an unobstructed view of the action inside the tube. Cotton at the bottom of the tube ignites in a flash as the plunger rapidly compresses the gas in side the tube. |
|
Natural Energy Kit
This kit has 19 hands-on activities which explore electric, wind, solar, geo-thermal, biomass and nuclear energy. Kit includes a teacher's guide and lab materials for five students. Grades 6-9
|
|
Magnets Kit
An understanding of magnetism and its force field is developed as student perform hands-on experiments. Some are as follows: Classifying as Magnetic and non-magnetic. Attract and
repel, Magnetic Force Through Solids, How compasses react to magnetic fields, , Direction
of a Magnetic Field, Magnets and their poles, Electromagnetism and more. Includes enrichment activities and a teacher's guide. Enough materials for one group of 5 students. |
|
Electromagnetic Spectrum Chart
We live in a sea of waves. With this exciting visual aid, students can explore the unique relationship
between the unseen electric and magnetic waves surrounding us. See the difference between wave-
length and frequency scales in addition to understanding radio and microwave usage, x-ray, and gamma
ray absorption and much more! Accompanied by an explanatory sheet. |
|
Energy Model
A basic understanding of energy is central to every scientific discipline. The Energy Model will provide an overview of energy types in association with their origins and processing requirements. Actual samples include: oil shale, tar sand, crude oil, coal, uranium ore, natural biomass and a solar cell. The 24"W x 18"H model also shows comparative trends in energy consumption for nuclear, coal, oil, natural gas, and renewables. The chart illustrates actual energy consumption for 1980 and 1990, and projected figures for 2000 and 2010. Includes Teacher's Guide. |
|
Wind Tunnel
Students can make a variety of aerodynamic studies with an actual wind tunnel. A wing can be made and lift calculations can be made to give students an idea of how efficient their wing is. Students can also visually analyze the efficiency of their creation using a smoke stream. |
|
Wind Turbine
This exciting kit allows students to build and test a fully-functional wind turbine. The comprehensive guide was developed by the Kidwind Project and contains in-depth information about history, turbine design, and wind energy. Students use a multimeter (included) to monitor how much power their wind turbine produces. |
|
Circuits & Electromagnetism Kit
Student's learn the basics of DC circuits with this kit that contains 5 activates: Building simple electric circuits, Circuit diagrams, Conductors and insulators, the effects of any electric current, and how a fuse works. All components needed to perform these activities are included for one student/group. |
|
Investigating Heat Kit
Students apply the scientific method to investigate heat transfer, conduction, convection, mass, substance and temperature. Each kit contains brass, aluminum and lead blocks, cups, thermal expansion bar, naphlalene pins, candle and all necessary materials to perform 13 different investigations. Teacher's guide and two student workbooks included.
|
|
Investigating Magnetism
By creating electromagnets and conducting ten other activities students learn the principles and have all the fun of magnetism and magnetic fields. These activities are attention grabbers at any level! The teacher's guide and two student workbooks provide all the necessary background and instructions. All other necessary materials are included in the kit.
