MODELING CONVECTION CURRENTS
Kit #436S — Developed by SEPUP

Small groups of students use unique materials to investigate convection currents in water . They
use their experiences to develop an operational understanding of the relationship between
water temperature and its movement . This knowledge is then applied to geology as students
analyze data about the Earth’s layers and convection currents in the lithosphere. The hands-on
experience with convection in water coupled with the knowledge of Earth’s interior is combined
to explain the motion of the earth’s tectonic plates .
Accommodates dozens of classes, each with 6 groups of four students.

ENERGY TRANSFER:
MOTION OF A PENDULUM

Kit #212
Students first investigate how the physical characteristics
of a pendulum affect the period of a pendulum . They are
given several variables to test and are then asked to design
and carry out an experiment to test the effect of another
variable of their own choosing . Once the data is collected,
they analyze the cyclic transfer between kinetic and potential
energy that occurs as a pendulum swings .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 6 groups of four
students.
