Groundwater Exploration Activity Model

Groundwater Exploration Activity Model
Engage your class with a vivid demonstration of groundwater flow! Using this durable acrylic model, your students will learn about the sources of groundwater, its storage and flow beneath the Earth’s surface, and how this unseen resource impacts life at the Earth’s surface. They’ll use dyes as simulated contaminants to reveal how groundwater can become polluted and how its contamination can directly affect the environment. In the process of conducting dozens of exercises in hydrology, your class will learn about groundwater’s critical role in the hydrologic cycle as well as other key concepts—the water cycle, porosity and permeability, Darcy’s Law, aquifers and artesian wells and water quality.

Backyard Brains – Heart and Brain Spikerbox

Backyard Brains - Heart and Brain Spikerbox
With our Heart and Brain SpikerBox, you can view and record the action potentials of your heart (EKG) and the slow rhythms of your brain (EEG) using a Smartphone, Tablet, Chromebook or Computer running our free Spike Recorder Software. The EKG is the bodies’ most recognizable electrical signal, making cameos in TV medical shows for decades. Our experiments take you through the steps of how to record your own, and what these signals say about you. Tap into the cerebral cortex using our EEG headband to record both brain “rhythms” as well as evoked potentials. Wait, there’s more! You can also use this SpikerBox to record electrical deflections of the eye.
