ANIMAL SCIENCE BUNDLE 1
Kit #AG-S08 $186.95 (Savings of $41 .00)

THIS BUNDLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING KITS:
906 Tracking the Spread of Infectious Diseases STEM LITERACY AG REFILLABLE ADD A GROUP
Contagious diseases can spread very quickly through a population . If an infected individual mingles with healthy
individuals, random contact can cause many more to become infected . This activity simulates the transmission of a
contagious disease and the steps epidemiologists take to try to determine its source and limit its spread . Two scenarios
are provided, one for an infection spreading among humans and another among livestock . If desired, the kit materials
can also be used to simulate different “trackable” spreading event scenarios such as an invasive species or an outbreak
of food poisoning . This activity also introduces the concept of exponential growth .
Accommodates dozens of classes, each with 24 students. Add only cups for larger classes.
NONCONSUMABLE
904S Natural Selection and Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Developed by SEPUP STEM LITERACY AG
Why is it important to take an antibiotic as prescribed? Students model the effects of antibiotics on the population
of disease-causing bacteria during an infection . During the simulation, some groups complete the full course of
antibiotics, while others miss doses . They then graph populations of more-resistant and less-resistant bacteria . Students
observe the selection of more-resistant bacteria that can take place if antibiotic treatment is intermittent or discontinued
prematurely . Through this activity, students learn why it’s important to take “the full course” of antibiotics .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 16 groups of two students.
160 Bacteria Study AG SPANISH REFILLABLE
Students conduct the classic Leeuwenhoek bacteria experiment in this individualized, self paced kit. Paralleling
methods performed over 300 years ago, students observe and identify bacteria using a microscope .
Requires microscopes .
Accommodates two classes, each with 15 groups of two students.

ANIMAL SCIENCE BUNDLE 2

Kit #AG-S09 $288.05 (Savings of $63 .20)
THIS BUNDLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING KITS:
55 Metabolism Experiment STEM AG SPANISH REFILLABLE
This kit introduces students to the study of metabolism by measuring the rate of oxygen consumption of small
®
organisms, such as insects, snails, worms and germinating seeds . Using Patented Lab-Aids Metabolism Chambers,
students observe the organisms (not included) and draw correlations between size of an organism, the temperature of
the environment and oxygen consumption . They are also asked to calculate an organisms respiratory rate in cubic cm
of oxygen per kg per hour, measure total gas change in a closed environment and determine an organisms metabolic
relationship to total gas in a closed environment .
Accommodates 1 class with 2 groups of students.

25R Enzymes as Catalysts for Starch Digestion AG STEM LITERACY ADD A GROUP REFILLABLE
The basic concept behind this engaging kit is that all living organisms must alter nutrients in order to make them usable .
Colorful controlled experiments let students observe factors affecting enzyme activity while studying catalysis in an
organic reaction . Tests are performed in drop quantities using the Lab-Aids Chemplate .

Accommodates 1 class with 12 groups of two students.
22 Osmosis and Diffusion AG STEM LITERACY ADD A GROUP REFILLABLE
Can studying the basic life process function of osmosis and diffusion stimulate your students’ curiosity? It can with this
hands-on lab experience. Students observe firsthand the characteristics of a differentially permeable membrane.
Some substances will pass through the membrane and some won’t . Some will actually pass through the membrane in
both directions simultaneously. Simple color changes help students visualize this biological-physiological phenomenon.
Accommodates 1 class with 12 groups of two students.
