Lab-Aids™ Blinking LED Conductivity Indicator
The Lab-Aids™ 9 Level Conductivity Meter shows the relative conductivity/resistance of liquids and solids.
Lab-Aids™ Classifying Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks
Introduce and explain rock formation, describe and identify different rock types, use data to identify an unknown rock type and apply earth science to a real-world scenario.
Lab-Aids™ Dendrochronology Tree-Ring Dating Kit
Develop an understanding of tree-ring dating principles, determine age of simulated tree cores, discover effects of climate on tree growth and establish age of tree and correlate to other wooden objects.
Lab-Aids™ Biology and Chemistry of Soil Experimentation Kit
Extract organisms from soil samples, identify soil organisms, study characteristics of arthropods and compare different soil samples for organism population density.
Lab-Aids™ Osmosis and Diffusion Kit
Observe diffusion through a membrane in two directions at the same time, observe selective permeability of a membrane and understand how osmosis and diffusion relate to cellular life processes on a cellular level.
Lab-Aids™ Simple Stain Kit for Plant Tissue
Demystify staining, introduce students to the study of plant cells, cut, mount, stain and observe different cell types and tissue structures and develop microscope techniques.
Lab-Aids™ Force and Motion Module Kit
Lab-Aids™ Force and Motion Module Kit helps build understanding of physics concepts in a logical sequence
Lab-Aids™ Plant Cell Study
Prepae slide materials with stains and mounts, develop microscope techniques, utilize diagrams and dichotomous keys for identification and observe stem cell types in monocot and dicot stems.
Lab-Aids™ Simple Machines
Students measure the force required to lift objects using different simple machines
Lab-Aids™ Atomic Structure and Chemical Interactions
Students are introduced to models of atomic structure and use the planetary model to visualize the number of valence electrons.
Lab-Aids™ Kitchen Chemistry Kit
Emphasize experimental design and observation. Develop scientific reasoning skills.
Lab-Aids™ DNA-, RNA-Protein Synthesis Modeling Kit
Demystifies the DNA/RNA connection in protein synthesis, replication, transcription and translation is modeled and experience how information stored in DNA is expressed as a finished protein.
Lab-Aids™ Natural Selection Experiment Kit
Replicate the 'peppered moth' study in the lab, simulate predator-prey relationship, illustrate Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection and industrial melonism and collect data and draw conclusion concerning natural selection and environmental pollution.
Lab-Aids™ Bacteria Study Kit
Culture bacteria, prepare bacterial smears and stain them using Gram stain and observe/identify bacteria.
Lab-Aids™ Rh Blood-Typing Kit
Determine Rh factor, understand Rh mechanisms and relationships to transfusion and genetics and observe tissue compatibility.
Lab-Aids™ Living With Plastics (Developed by SEPUP)
In this module, students address questions aoout materials by focusing on the development and use of plastic.
Lab-Aids™ Desktop Modeling Stream Erosion and Deposition Kit
Student groups use a Lab-Aids™ Mini Stream Table to investigate the dynamics of stream erosion and deposition.
Lab-Aids™ Energy Transfer: Waves, Sound and Light Kit
Produce both longitudinal and transverse mechanical waves and compare their similarities and differences.
Lab-Aids™ Weather Forecasting Kit
Students work together in teams to interpret weather maps from eight consecutive days.
Lab-Aids™ Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Make accurate interpretations, inferences, and conclusions with this kit.
Lab-Aids™ Evolution: Examining Fossils and DNA Evidence
Scientific inquiry includes critical thinking to evaluate evidence and the explanations proposed by other scientists.
Lab-Aids™ Energy Transfer: Motion of a Pendulum
In this activity, students investigate the motion of a pendulum and the energy transfers that take place as it swings.
