***SPACE SCIENCE* *IS FUN!***

We have some great hands-on activities and wonderful films for students to explore Space Science!

Moon Phases Activity Kit

This hands-on activity kit will allow students to visually and kinetically explore the Phases of the Moon, and the arrangement of the Earth, Sun and Moon at each of its phases.

Includes a UV lamp, 33 golf balls with nails, and a Lesson Plan.

Meteorite and Volcanic Rock Kit

Students will have a hands-on experience with a meteorite, volcanic rock, and basalt rocks.

The kit includes 6 rocks (a meteorite, 2 basalt rocks, a scoria rock, a metamorphic rock, and a slice of a meteorite); 3 magnets; a DVD; and an information binder.

Grade Level: 4-12

Seasons Activity Kit

Students participate in inquiry-based activities that use Earth globes equipped with solar cells and other science instruments to collect meaningful data. Students will investigate the differences in the amount of energy these Earth globes receive with changes in sun angle. This will lead to the discovery of the cause of seasonal change through an analysis of the evidence they collect.

Included in the kit: Lesson Plan Manual, Zodiac Sign Sheets, Light area Measurement Grid, 19"x 14" Board with Hole, Lamps with Stands, Angle of Incidence Device, Extension Cord, Power Strips, 4 Globes with Solar Panels and Pegs, 6 Digital Multimeters, 6' of string.

***TEACHERS: Please be aware that the cords on the multimeters break easily. Please use extra care when these are being used. If they break, the whole unit has to be replaced.

Grade Level: 4-6

Classroom Jeopardy Game

Make learning fun by bringing the sights, sounds and action of Jeopardy! to the classroom.

Classroom Jeopardy! Works just like the show. A player or team selects a category and value. Using the host controller, the answer is displayed on the classroom TV screen and players or teams buzz in on their wireless remotes. The host presses correct or incorrect on the controller and the electronic scoreboard takes care of adding (or subtracting) the points automatically!

Several Game Cartrides are available to check out to go with Classroom Jeopardy!. Subjects include: Language Arts, Social Studies (U.S. History, Geography, Civics, World History, Cultures), Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Science (Science Basics, Space Science, Life Science).

Grade Level: 3-9
