20 kits with
Manuals are provided, 10 in Box A and 10 in Box B (5 compartments
per Box where the parts can be saved after experimentation)
* For Class of
32 students, suggested Group Kit Distribution:
4 Groups of 8 students perform Experiments 1 through 17, sharing
the kits in Boxes A and B
Each Group
divided into 4 Teams, Each Team uses 4 Kits and Manuals in
Compartments I through 4 in Boxes A and B
The Teacher
utilizes 4 Kits and Manuals in 5"' compartment of Box A and Box B
Detailed
suggested kit distribution provided in kit
Since 2 students
share 1 kit (compartment parts) at any given time and can
exchange parts, this leads to individual experimentation.
All 17
experiments are performed by 16 two-student teams simultaneously,
covering the entire class. Time for completion is approximately 4
hours.
Kit
Description:
This kit expands
on CG-01.
Experiments 1
through 6 relate to States of Equilibrium, Stable, Unstable and
Neutral Equilibrium. Each student handles parts like steel
washers, balloons, funnels and a cylindrical box to illustrate
Equilibrium, states. Experiments 7 through 13 establish the
relationship between Center of Gravity and the Base of Support.
In Experiments 14, 15 and 16, the concept of Stability is further
explored with additional parts, and a seemingly unstable assembly
is attempted in Experiment 16. Finally, the students' skills are
tested in Experiment 17, in the assembly of a Tightrope Walker,
utilizing about a dozen parts to create a stable fixed and moving
assembly Teams of 2 students work on the experiments using the
instruction manual. Manual includes stimulating questions after
many of the experiments.
This is a
Maximum utility-low cost kit, ideal for classroom science.
