NEW AND FEATURED KITS
ANALYZING & EXPLAINING
MOON PHASES
Kit #353S — Developed by SEPUP
In the first of three activities in this kit, students are
challenged to figure out if there is a predictable
and repeating pattern in how the Moon’s
appearance changes over time . They then use
a computer simulation to collect, analyze, and
interpret data to identify the causes of the cyclic
pattern of the Moon’s phases. In the final activity,
students use a model that illustrates and explains
why solar and lunar eclipses occur and why they
do not occur each lunar cycle .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 8 groups of 4 students.
Kit No. 353S $274.50

ENGINEERING & DESIGN:
CHEMICAL HAND WARMERS
Kit #493S — Developed by SEPUP
Students undertake a design challenge to use
a specific set of materials to construct and test
a chemical hand warmer . In Part One students
brainstorm and sketch several possible designs then
choose one to build as a prototype and test . In Part
2, students redesign, construct, test, and evaluate
hand warmers with an additional design criterion
introduced—users must be able to start the chemical
reaction “on demand .” Pairs of students exchange
prototypes, test and evaluate them, then think about
what modifications can help optimize their designs.
Accommodates one class with 8 groups of 4 students.
