ENGINEERING AND DESIGN: REDUCING EROSION

Kit #485S — Developed by SEPUP

In this engineering design activity, students model the effect of ocean waves on a sea cliff with
and without an erosion-reducing barrier in place . They then use this experience to design, test,
and redesign structures to limit beach erosion .

Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of 4 students.
Kit No. 485S $242.15

MODELING CONVECTION
CURRENTS

Kit #436S — Developed by SEPUP
Small groups of students use unique Lab-Aids/SEPUP 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.
