Topography Map Reading— Model and Lab Activity
Give students success in topographic
map reading! This innovative kit consists
of a teacher demonstration model and
15 student models. Students observe the overhead projection demonstration, then perform hands-on activities in lab stations. A great way to visualize how a three- dimensional land area is accurately depicted in two dimensions and also to gain a clear distinction between horizontal and vertical representations on a topographical map.
AP6185 I $108.10
Coriolis Effect— Student Laboratory Kit
This innovative activity model gives students hands-on experience investigating how objects move across the surface of a rotating planet. Students study the effect of tempera- ture and the Coriolis Effect on ocean currents and compare those effects between the atmospheres in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Includes enough materials
and Coriolis Effect models for five student groups.
AP7346 I $73.00
Contour Model Kit
Students make topographical maps with this 3-D plastic model reproduction of a steep- sided volcano by drawing contour lines on the model after incrementally adding water. Students then compare their maps to a real aerial photograph of the volcano. Includes transparent molded plastic box with volcano and lid, metric ruler, marking pencil and student worksheets. For one lab group of 3–4 students.

Coriolis Effect Apparatus
Observe the Coriolis Effect simply and clearly. A 3⁄4"-diameter steel ball and a revolving turntable simulate the Earth’s rota- tion. Activity sheets guide students as they investigate the Coriolis Effect in the Northern and Southern hemispheres and its effect
on atmospheric circulation. Serves one lab group of 3–4 students.
Earth’s Magnetic Field—Super Value Kit
Explore the properties of Earth’s magnetic field lines with this innovative kit. Students use iron filings, a magnetic sphere and a compass to determine the locations of North and South poles on a simulated magnetic Earth. Includes valuable background information about magnetic fields and Earth’s poles, detailed step-by-step instructions, student worksheets, teacher notes and reusable materials for 30 students working in pairs.
