Engineering & Design: Modeling & Mitigating Stream Processes

Single Concept Kits

1-3 Days

Lab-Aids got its start more than 60 years ago with a simple goal: to make it easier for teachers to bring thoughtful, hands-on learning into their classrooms through complete, ready-to-use kits. Designed to make abstract or challenging concepts more engaging and cost-effective to teach, these labs address common misconceptions and energize student learning.

Modules

8-30 Days

A targeted, cost-effective approach that engages students in science and engineering practices while fostering student-led discussion around real-world issues. Each issue is intentionally selected to motivate diverse learners, provide meaningful context for the science content, and support sustained, evidence-based decision-making grounded in key concepts and processes.

The Power of CRISPR

This one-to-two-week module explores how CRISPR gene-editing technology works and how it could be used to treat sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder. Students use CRISPR to edit bacterial genes as they investigate relationships between genes, proteins, and traits. They then discuss the ethics, risks, and benefits of using CRISPR for different applications.

Body Systems, Structures, and Functions

Body Systems, Structures, and Functions

Students learn about major organs and systems in the human body. First, they complete an activity that explores their current knowledge and ideas about the sizes and locations of specific organs. Then, they group Organ and Structure Cards and explore the functions of several human body systems. Next, students create a three-dimensional model of selected body systems. Finally, they color the organ systems on a diagram and test their knowledge of systems and organs as they revisit their earlier ideas.

Analyzing and Explaining Moon Phases

Analyzing and Explaining Moon Phases

In the first of the three activities in this kit, students start by ordering the phases of the Moon based on their own experiences and observations of the Moon. They then are challenged to figure out whether there is a predictable, and repeating, pattern in how the Moon's appearance changes over time.

Examining Fossils

Examining Fossils

Fossils provide important evidence about changes in life on Earth. This kit provides students with the opportunity to handle and examine eight different fossils from various localities and geologic ages. Fossils of species that are no longer living provide evidence for extinction; fossils of species similar but not identical to those alive today provide evidence for continuous evolutionary change.
