ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE A The Water Cycle

A

Students explore where water comes from and how it affects every aspect of their lives. Step by step, they discover how much water people, animals, plants and industry need to survive. The game enables them to learn about the complexity of the water cycle and how the planet recycles it. Learn about: • The water cycle • Amazing facts about water • How much water we use • How we can save water Includes game board, 24 jigsaw pieces, 4 counters, extensive teacher’s notes in 4 languages and 1 dice. For 2 to 4 players.

B8R05675

each £14.50

B Water Cycle Model This model investigates the water cycle, acid rain, pollution, evaporation and condensation, fresh water from salt water and how materials change. It is simple to set up and operate.

Choose whether to fill the ocean with fresh water, salt water, diluted vinegar or any other safe “pollutant”.

Load the cloud with ice and switch on a lamp. The water cycle will begin and rain will fall over the hills and run into the rivers and lake before flowing into the sea. The rain is not melted ice, which is self-contained. The Rainmaker lid remains clear enabling the water cycle to be observed.

The instructions provide full details for quickly and easily making safe organic indicators. Raindrops, rivers, lake and sea can then be tested to determine whether they are neutral, acid or alkaline.

Experiments can be conducted using food colouring or brown sugar as “pollutants”. Investigate how we can help nature and protect the environment.

Full teacher’s notes, with experiments and instructions are included. Lamp not supplied.

A Class Rock Pack

D World Soils Kit

Over 55 geological samples designed to cover the earth science sections of the curriculum. The Class Rock Pack provides a complete lesson. Based around a central laminated flow chart, students can work through identifying igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock and soil samples on the basis of their characteristics including texture and permeability.

The rocks are supplied in durable plastic containers complete with full Teacher’s Notes. Included in the packs are clay soil, sandy soil, oolitic limestone, chalk, sandstone, slate, marble, porphyry, granite, gabbro and basalt.

E Hydrocarbons Kit

The Class Fossil Pack uses a central laminated flow chart and a mix of replica and genuine fossils to explain the section of the curriculum that covers fossils. The set focuses on the main life groups: separating fossils on the basis of their characteristic features, symmetry and biology. Contents: flow chart, teaching notes, 11 different samples, five of each sample, (55 samples in total). Samples: shark’s teeth, preserved plant material, echinoid, crinoid, trilobite, bivalve, brachiopod, gastropod, ammonite, coral, fossil rich limestone. Storage tray included.

For describing and defining the reference soil groups of the World Reference Base for Soil Resources. Use is made of soil characteristics, properties and horizons which are combined to define soils and their relationships. Soils are defined by the vertical combination of horizons, occurring within a defined depth, and by the lateral organization (“sequence”) of the soil horizons, or by the lack of them, at a scale reflecting the relief or a land unit.

Kit contains: 1. Acrisol 2. Andosol 3. Calcisols 4. Chernozem 5. Durisol 6. Ferralsol 7. Gypsisol 8. Nitisol 9. Phaeozem 10. Plinthosol – petroplinthite 11. Solonchak 12. Vertisol

Petroleum and natural gas are found in the Earth’s subsurface with the tools of petroleum geology and are a significant source of fuel and raw materials for the production of organic chemicals. The extraction of liquid hydrocarbon fuel from sedimentary basins is integral to modern energy development.

Hydrocarbons are mined from tar sands and oil shale, and potentially extracted from sedimentary methane hydrates.

These reserves require distillation and upgrading to produce synthetic crude and petroleum. Hydrocarbons are economically important because major fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, and its derivatives such as plastics, paraffin, waxes, solvents and oils are hydrocarbons.

Kit contains: 1. Cap rock: mudstone 2. Reservoir rock (limestone) 3. Reservoir rock (limestone) : oolitic 4. Cap rock A : shale 5. Lignite sample 6. Anthracite coal 7. Bituminous coal 8. Source Rock (oil shale Kimmeridge) 9. Reservoir rock (sandstone) 10. Cap rock B: gypsum 11. Peat sample 12. Oil tar sand , crude oil
