NATURAL RESOURCES BUNDLE 1
Kit #AG-S03 $304.20 (Savings of $66 .75)

THIS BUNDLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING KITS:
437 Modeling and Investigating Watersheds LITERACY STEM AG ADD A GROUP REFILLABLE
Despite the significance of watersheds, many students get few opportunities to explore this important aspect of
topography and its relationship to the water cycle . Students apply “rain” over a topographic model and observe
the water runoff . From their observations they identify the location of major bodies of water such as lakes, rivers,
and streams. This activity not only provides students with firsthand experience with watersheds but also provides a
knowledge base to better understand issues such as how an abandoned mine may influence water quality far from the
mine site or how farming practices in Nebraska may influence the health of organisms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Accommodates ten classes, each with 6 groups of four students.
442 Modeling Stream Erosion and Deposition LITERACY STEM AG ADD A GROUP REFILLABLE
Student groups use a Lab-Aids Mini Stream Table to investigate the dynamics of stream erosion and deposition . Using
®
specially engineered materials students create, observe, describe, and interpret the erosional and depositional patterns
created when “rainwater” flows over an area. Some of the features commonly formed include canyons, braided streams,
and deltas .
Accommodates two classes, each with 6 groups of four students.
LITERACY AG
439S Making and Interpreting Topographic Maps Developed by SEPUP ADD A GROUP REFILLABLE
This activity provides students with a basic understanding of topographic maps and how to interpret them . Students
®
conduct a hands-on investigation using the Lab-Aids Topographic Model to construct contour lines and create a
topographic map of an area . The activity illustrates the relationship between the contour lines on a topographic map and
the actual shape of the land .
Accommodates dozens of classes, each with 6 groups of four students.

NATURAL RESOURCES BUNDLE 2

Kit #AG-S04 $368.20 (Savings of $80 .80)
THIS BUNDLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING KITS:

440S Copper Mining and Extraction Developed by SEPUP LITERACY STEM AG REFILLABLE
Copper and other raw materials contribute to our technological lifestyle, but the byproducts of extracting copper from
ore are potential toxic wastes . In this activity, students explore the properties of copper and copper ore . They conduct
two reactions used to extract and recover copper from the ore .
This process introduces single and double replacement reactions . Students also consider the wastes produced by the
extraction process .
Accommodates 8 groups of four students.
32 Biology and Chemistry of Soil Experiment AG NONCONSUMABLE REFILLABLE
Time to play in the dirt! Students use ordinary soil samples to conduct a thorough evaluation of soil . Simple, easy-to-
follow techniques and staining procedures are introduced early in this series of activities . After performing a series
of activities, students are asked to draw conclusions concerning a soil’s ability to support plant growth . All tests are
performed using either the patented Chemplate or calibrated sample tubes .
®
Accommodates four classes, each with 12 groups of two students.
19 Qualitative Introduction to Water Pollution STEM AG REFILLABLE
This kit provides an unsophisticated, but effective way to examine their region’s natural and treated waters . The easy-
to-perform chemical tests in this kit qualitatively identify many common water pollutants . While conducting these tests,
students also learn about the different methods used in quality water testing methods, how to interpret results from
these methods, and how to identify the pH of locally collected water .
Accommodates two classes, each with 12 groups of two students.
