MakerBot Sketch 3D Printer
The MakerBot SKETCH is a classroom-friendly 3D printer designed to bring ideas to life through hands-on modeling, engineering, and iteration. With an intuitive interface, enclosed print chamber, and compatibility with cloud-based software (MakerBot CloudPrint), SKETCH allows students to design and fabricate real prototypes safely and reliably. Its manageable size and quiet operation make it ideal for classroom use, from daily STEM activities to long-term engineering projects.
MakeyMakey Designer Kit
MakeyMakey is a small circuit board that is connected to a computer via USB cable. The computer thinks that the circuit board is the actual keyboard! With alligator clips, students can attach various conductive objects to the circuit boards to design their own keyboards!
Normally, computer games and musical instruments are played using the standard keyboard. But with their very own MakeyMakey keyboards, just imagine the possibilities for students to design computer game controllers or musical instruments! MakeyMakeys have long been a student favorite for experiencing the engineering design process, learning about conductive and insulating materials, and as an introduction to circuitry.
Mechanical Wave Generator Kit
The Mechanical Wave Generator Kit from Arbor Scientific is a hands-on kit that brings wave behavior to life in a tangible and engaging way. Designed for classroom demonstrations and student-led investigations, this bundle includes the Wave Spring, Longitudinal Wave Spring, and the Wave Motion String, providing a full toolkit for modeling transverse and longitudinal waves, reflection, interference, and energy transfer through different media.
Micro:bit Club Kit
The Micro:bit Club Kit is a flexible, hands-on toolkit for introducing middle school students to computer science, engineering, and physical computing. Centered around the micro:bit microcontroller, the kit allows students to program, test, and iterate interactive systems that respond to inputs such as buttons, light, motion, and sound.
This kit is especially well suited for clubs, classroom rotations, and short design challenges. Students can quickly move from writing simple programs to building data-driven devices, reinforcing the idea that code is a tool for investigating and solving real-world problems. Activities naturally blend computational thinking with science concepts like data collection, patterns, and cause-and-effect relationships.
Microscope Slides – Rocks and Minerals
This 24-piece set of professionally prepared mineral thin section slides brings the world of geology into sharp focus for middle school students. Viewed under a standard light microscope, each slide reveals crystal structures, cleavage patterns, grain boundaries, and optical properties—offering a rich, hands-on experience with the composition and formation of Earth’s materials.
Mini Straw Rocket Launcher
The mini version of the Straw Rocket Launcher! Launch lightweight “rockets” made from drinking straws while investigating Newton’s laws, aerodynamics, and iterative design. The Pitsco Straw Rocket Launcher lets students rapidly prototype, test, and refine their own rockets by adjusting fin shape, mass, and launch angle—turning the classroom into a low-cost wind-tunnel and ballistics lab.
Comes with the Straw Rockets Getting Started Classroom Package, including precision straws, index cards, and clay.
Mini Wave Buoy Kit
The Mini Wave Buoy Kit is a hands-on data collection tool that allows middle school students to investigate wave motion using real sensor data, scaled down for classroom use. Designed to replicate the kind of measurements collected by community science projects like Backyard Buoys, this kit helps students explore how waves behave, how they can be measured, and why wave data matters.
The buoy contains a compact sensor module housed in a floating body. When placed in water—such as a classroom container or the STEM Pre-Academy Wave Tank—it records motion that can be used to analyze wave height, frequency, and patterns over time. Students can generate waves, collect data, and compare results across trials, connecting physical motion to quantitative evidence.
Nā Inoa Hōkū
From the Publisher:
The first edition of Nā Inoa Hōkū, published in 1975, reignited global interest in Hawaiian and Pacific star knowledge and navigation at a critical time, coinciding with the epic first journey of the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa. This third edition is a hugely expanded version of Rubellite Kawena Johnson and John Kaipo Mahelona’s seminal book, representing a quarter century of collaboration between the original authors and cultural astronomer Clive Ruggles. It remains true to Johnson’s initial objective not only to document Hawaiian star names used in navigation, mythology, and genealogy, but also to foster a much broader cultural and linguistic comprehension of Oceanic sky knowledge.
Nā Inoa Hōkū: Hawaiian and Pacific Star Names, Third Edition is a compendium of the available information on traditional astronomical knowledge in the Pacific region. It comprises a major synthesis of what we know about Hawaiians’ understanding of the skies, celestial navigation, and calendrical practices, as well as insights into cosmology and religious ideology. Additionally, the three comparative star catalogues—Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Austronesian—represent an unparalleled reference compilation derived from a wide range of Indigenous, historical, and ethnographic accounts. These are accompanied by a “Western identifications” table with cross-references from Western to Oceanic star names and appendices listing modern star terminology and the various islands and ethnolinguistic groups.
The section on Hawaiian knowledge and sources is enhanced by detailed interpretations and explanations that clarify many earlier transcription errors and misunderstandings. Key texts from Hawaiian-language newspapers are shown alongside new translations by Mahelona, ranging from short articles by Samuel Kamakau in the 1850s and 1860s to Benjamin K. Nāmakaokeahi’s thirty-part history of the priesthood of Kanalu published in 1900, 1901, and beyond. Also included are documents recently uncovered in the Bishop Museum Archives in Honolulu and the Cambridge University Library in the UK, along with an unpublished archive that includes firsthand testimony collected in the early twentieth century by historian Theodore Kelsey.
A definitive resource for Hawaiian cultural practitioners, this book is of particular value to astronomers and linguists worldwide and an essential reference for anyone interested in Pacific history and culture.
