         PLANT SCIENCE BUNDLE 3
         Kit #AG-S11         $318.80 (Savings of $69 .95)

         THIS BUNDLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING KITS:
         63     Differentiation of Cells Experiment                                     AG  LITERACY  REFILLABLE
                Cell Differentiation is a process by which development of a living organism is achieved . Through a series of progressive
                changes, a generalized cell transforms into a specialized cell. The more specialized the cell becomes; the less likely it is to
                divide . After the seeds germinate, students prepare slides, then watch the living material differentiate before their eyes .
                  They will also observe generalized cellular divisions in meristematic root cap tissue and isolate specialized cells. In the
                final activity, students diagram and label the differentiated cells. MICROSCOPES ARE NEEDED.
                Accommodates three classes, each with 15 groups of two students.

         9      Normal Mitosis                                                          AG  LITERACY  REFILLABLE
                  Using this outstanding kit, students will first identify the phases of plant mitosis, then observe chromosomal
                development . They gain hands-on experience with the micro-techniques by staining and mounting their own slides .
                Finally students prepare their own plant cells by treating scientifically grown onion root tips cells with a mild acid,
                then staining the cells . A stained section of cells is then squashed onto a slide and smeared into a single layer for
                microscopic study . MICROSCOPES ARE NEEDED .
                Accommodates two classes, each with 15 groups of two students.
         61     Plant Cell Study                                                        AG  LITERACY  REFILLABLE
                This simple lab activity provides a sense of realism that commercially prepared slides can’t possibly duplicate . Students
                prepare slides using the pre-cut plant cross sections and macerated stem tissue, then stain and mount the samples .
                  Clearly diagrammed cell guides and individualized student worksheets help the students through this fascinating activity.
                This activity allows students to develop an understanding of the art of slide preparation, a skill necessary in future life science
                and biology classes . There is enough slide preparation material for 30 students in this kit . MICROSCOPES ARE NEEDED .
                Accommodates two classes, each with 15 groups of two students.




         FOOD PRODUCT SYSTEMS BUNDLE 1

         Kit #AG-S12         $300.60 (Savings of $66 .00)
         THIS BUNDLE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING KITS:
         6A     Food Nutrient Analysis                                             STEM    AG  SPANISH  REFILLABLE
                 This Lab-Aid’s kit is a variation of the Food Analysis kit (Kit #6) . In this kit however, tests are performed using pure
                samples of the nutrients in order to standardize the tests. Working in teams, students are asked to test for, and identify,
                 five classes of nutrients: sugar, starch, lipid, protein and Vitamin C.
                 This is an outstanding kit to demonstrate scientific methods, practices and processes.
                 Accommodates five classes, each with 15 groups of two students.
         505   Modeling Molecules of Life Kit                     LITERACY  AG  SPANISH  ADD A GROUP  NONCONSUMABLE
                In the Modeling Molecules of Life kit, students study the chemistry of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins . Durable, color-
                coded plastic atoms are assembled, disassembled, and reassembled quickly and easily into 3-D molecules that provide
                highly graphic and extremely motivating learning experiences .
                   Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins can be completed as a series of lab activities, or as separate units . Students can
                also work independently for enrichment or remedial study . Each module can be systematically subdivided into smaller
                sections so students can do the work when most appropriate .
                Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 12 groups of two students.

         907S   Animal Health and Food Safety: Chicken Little,
                Chicken Big Developed by SEPUP                                 LITERACY  STEM  AG  NONCONSUMABLE
                  Medical and dietary supplement products, such as vitamins, are often given to humans and other animals to improve
                health, growth, or performance. In this activity, students analyze data from a fictitious study on the effects of a chicken
                growth supplement. Students are introduced to toxicology and the design of clinical trials, find threshold doses, then
                grapple with the trade-offs involved with determining an optimum dose .
                Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 16 groups of two students.
