MODELING AND INVESTIGATING WATERSHEDS
Kit #437

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 first-hand 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.

MAGNETIC FIELDS AND FORCES

Kit #217
The two activities included explore magnets and magnetic
fields, particularly Earth’s magnetic field. Students first
develop operational definitions of magnets, magnetic poles,
and magnetic fields then continue their exploration by
examining naturally magnetic rocks and the behavior of
navigational compasses .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 6 groups of four students.
