Bone-A-Fied FactsGrades K-4Why do we have bones? What would we be like without bones? What are bones made of and how do they fit together? The answers to these questions and many others await you in this engaging exploration of the human skeletal system. anatomy and physiology 5.0Dinosaur DiscoveriesGrades K-5Scientists draw conclusions about the structure and behavior of dinosaurs by comparing their fossils to observations of animals living today. We will use exciting dinosaur fossil replicas and real animal artifacts and learn how to think like paleontologists! diversity and adaptation among living things 5.0Magnets to MotorsGrades 4-8Demonstrations with magnets and electromagnetic forces include a 3-D magnetic field view box, alnico magnets, powerful neodymium magnets, and our six-foot tall light-up motor. See how electricity can be used to make an electromagnet and how a magnet can be used to generate electricity. energy 14.0Plant LabGrades 1-6Learn the main parts of a flowering plant and each part's function. Investigate flower parts in a virtual flower dissection. Then have a close-up look at plant cells and pollen viewed under a microscope lens. Cell structure and functioninteractions between living things and their environment food production and energy for life Space in MotionGrades 4-8How is a spaceship launched into orbit? Why do astronauts and objects in orbit float around and not feel the effects of gravity? Do Newton's Laws of Motion work even in space? Demonstrations address these questions and give your students a better idea of how objects in motion behave on Earth as well as in space. forces and motion 11.0earth and its place in the universe 7.0 The "Eyes" Have It!Grades 4-12Take a close-up virtual tour of a real cow eye to discover varioius aspects of human eye anatomy in this cow eye dissection. Explore how the components work together with the brain to allow for sight. diversity and adaptation among living things 5.0What's the Matter?Grades 3-8Learn about the physical properties of states of matter in fun demonstrations and exciting experiments using liquid nitrogen. A liquid nitrogen materials fee of $20 is required. structures and properties of matter 12.0interactions of matter 13.0 |
