                                                      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.

                                                      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.
