ENGINEERING & DESIGN:
MAGLEV TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
Kit #496S — Developed by SEPUP
In this multi-day activity students are challenged to
design a magnetically levitated cart . They follow the
engineering design process by building a prototype
and then using an iterative testing procedure to
optimize the size of the cart and the number and
placement of magnets on the cart in order to
maximize the load the cart can transport.
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of 4 students.
Kit No. 496S $298.00

GENES, MUTATIONS,
EVOLUTION, & SICKLE CELL
Kit #902S — Developed by SEPUP
In this two-part activity students follow the
inheritance of a hemoglobin mutation through
generations . In Part 1, they use a physical model
to collect data for two generations . In Part 2, they
use a computer model to extend their study to 30
generations . Students identify patterns in their
data, investigate the cause-and-effect relationship
between several environmental conditions and the
frequency and distribution of a trait, and explain
how mutations lead to changes in protein structure
and function that can affect survival .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of 4 students.
