WEATHER FORECASTING
Kit #480S — Developed by SEPUP

Students work together in teams to interpret weather maps
from eight consecutive days . Each team initially interprets the
map for a single day and constructs a weather report for that
day . Teams assigned the same day then combine to prepare,
and present their weather report to the class . Students then
use the information for all eight days to forecast the weather
for the unknown, ninth day .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 16 groups of two
students.

INTRODUCTION TO SOIL

Kit #1101
In this elementary school kit, students observe several different
Earth materials with a magnifying lens and describe what
they see . Their observations, including metric measurements,
are used to help them understand how these materials are
classified and identified. Students then apply the skills and
understanding developed in the first activity to observe and
describe soil samples completely enough to be identified by
someone else . These observations and descriptions form the
basis for agreeing upon a definition for soil.
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 12 groups of two students.

SOIL COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE
Kit #1102
In this companion kit to Kit, students continue their exploration of soil In
the first activity, they describe a soil sample, then identify the similarities
and differences between their group’s descriptions and those of other
groups and develop a primary definition of soil. Activity 2 expands the
investigation of soils by using a water column to separate soil samples
into various components . This data provides more evidence on the
types and proportions of the different materials in each soil and allows
students to refine their previous definition of soil. Activity 3 is a reading
which provides information that expands their personal experience and
observations from the previous activities to deepen and refine their
understanding of the composition, structure and development of soil .
Accommodates dozens of classes, each with 12 groups of two students.
