Relational GeoSolids are a versatile set of transparent 3D shapes designed to help students explore volume, surface area, and geometric relationships in a tangible way. Each shape is relationally sized—so students can compare and contrast dimensions across cylinders, cones, cubes, spheres, and more using real-world math practices.

Developed by Tyler Levine and STEM Pre-Academy the Seed Saving Classroom kit includes the materials to collect, clean, dry, and store your seeds. While this kit and the associated activities are geared towards tomatoes, there is much flexibility in what you can do!

The Seed Saving Classroom Kit can help you preserve the viability and longevity of your seeds by ensuring minimal moisture content within the seed so that they don’t prematurely germinate and/or rot and grow mold when stored.

And don’t miss the Seed Saving Activity that was developed to go along with this kit.

This new edition of Shore Fishes of Hawai‘i updates our knowledge of Hawaiian fishes and has been expanded to include 372 species. All are illustrated by the author’s 475 superb photographs. The most important characteristics to identify a fish are given as well as the size attained and its distribution. Each species account begins with the American common name, followed by the Hawaiian name (when known), and the scientific name. Because it is necessary to use some scientific terminology when giving the principal diagnostic characteristics of families or species of fishes and what they eat, a handy glossary appears at the back of the book before the Index.

The Silhouette Cameo 4 Cutter is a powerful desktop cutting machine that allows students to bring their digital designs to life by cutting paper, vinyl, cardstock, fabric, heat transfer material, and more. With precise blade control and easy-to-use software (Silhouette Studio), this tool is perfect for prototyping, creating custom labels, engineering mockups, and integrating art with science and technology.

The Silhouette Cutter is an additional (optional) accessory that cuts paper, vinyl, and other thin material. It has its own free software, Silhouette Studio, which can be used to design anything imaginable. It also works with Fablab ModelMaker 3D software to cut paper shape nets that can be manually folded into 3D models.

Tired of using batteries for your Snap Circuits? With this battery eliminator you won’t ever have to use batteries again. This Snap Circuits adapter works with all models of Snap Circuits except Snap Rovers.

The Snap Circuit Green Alternative Energy Kit demonstrates the generation process of renewable energy. Students can assemble and experiment with simple, interchangeable components that snap into place on a grid platform.

Snap Circuits Jr is ideal kit for students to understanding the fundamentals of electricity. The kit allows students to explore circuits with pieces that easily “snap” into place on a grid platform. Teachers can design challenges that allow students to design solutions using engineering design process. We also have supplemental snap circuit kits that focus on alternative energy, as well as a motion detector that can be used to expand the kit’s applications.

Snap Circuits Motion Detector Kit is ideal for students to learn motion detecting in 6 different circuit projects (included):
– Siren Motion Detector
– Alarm Motion Detector
– Police Car
– Fire Engine
– Machine Gun
– European Siren

Explore the basics of solar power with the Junior Solar Sprint Solar Panel. Students investigate the energy produced by solar panels in response to light level (or angle of the sun). This tool is designed to be used with our multimeter and comes with curriculum that can be used as is, or modified for your class. The lesson can be used as a stand alone investigation or to prepare students for Solar Sprint or as part of a larger climate change unit.

This hands-on Solar Tracker and Sundial Kit allows students to explore solar energy and the Earth’s motion by adjusting a photovoltaic panel to determine the Sun’s position. Using included tools—such as a sundial, compass, multimeter, and tape measure—students can align the solar panel, measure current output, and optimize tilt and azimuth to maximize energy collection.

Sphero Mini is a robot students can program to complete tasks, travel to exotic locations, and even play games. Students can control the Sphero Minis with a smartphone/tablet app using block coding, text coding, or a joystick to enable various robotic possibilities.

Teachers use Spheros to teach coding, Engineering design process, and other skills through hands-on activities.

Each kit includes a classroom set of 16 bots packed in a box and an additional box full of accessories. Each loan requests include iPads pre-loaded with the Sphero EDU app.

This is our little round friend, Sphero. Sphero is a robot that students can program to complete tasks, travel around to exotic locations, and even play games. Sphero is controlled from a smartphone / tablet app that unleashes a whole bunch of robotic possibilities. Students can control Sphero using block or text coding, or just using a joystick. iPads with the pre-loaded Sphero app included with loan request. Each kit includes a classroom set of 12 bots packed into a sturdy rolling charging case.

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.

DNA is a very abstract concept that can be difficult to grasp. With this DNA kit, extract “chunks” of DNA from strawberries and papaya that students can actually see. Students will learn about cell walls and cell membranes breaking down these walls and membranes are essential to the extraction process. Each kit contains 16 sets of materials for students to work in groups of 2 or more.
