Students are encouraged to ask questions about science and design their own experiments. This kit provides teachers with tools to facilitate experiments by students concerning the physical properties of ice and snow. Materials on glaciers, avalanches and the relationship of both humans and animals to ice and snow are provided. Art, music and language arts activities are incorporated into these lessons. Toys and curriculum guides are provided for each section.
Students examine different variables and record data to test general hypotheses.
Information on arctic clothing and building materials is also included. This kit teaches students about our most precious resource. Activities show how water is important, the water cycles, and how we use and can conserve our water resources. Young students will learn about the water cycle, conduct observations of microscopic organisms in water and see the effects of chlorination. A teacher's guide and instruction for testing water quality in streams, lakes and oceans is given in this kit.
