Bring Earth and Physical Science to life with this large illuminated model. Students utilize scientific inquiry techniques to explore concepts related to geology, meteorology, and water systems. The flow of bright, differently colored liquids helps students visualize variations in density as they relate to plate tectonics, sea floor spreading, air masses, fronts, air pressure, winds, ocean currents, thermoclines, haloclines, upwelling, El Nino, and more.
This unique, visually dramatic device lets you simulate numerous Earth processes that involve the movement of fluids due to variations in density. The large illuminated glass tank is partitioned, with fluids of different colors and densities in each section. The three gallon capacity tank comes with a teacher’s guide including assembly instructions and activities. Size: 112 x 15 x 9.5cm. Grades 5–12.
Includes: Density Flow Tank (125 cm L x 20 cm H x 16 cm W), CSA-approved Shoplite, 6 medium suction cups, 8 small suction cups, 3 thermometers, 1 metric ruler, 1 battery powered air pump, 4 D batteries, 2 sections of chain, 2 acrylic partitions, 1 glass flask, 2 plastic beakers, 1 stir stick, red food coloring, bluing solution, 2 wooden stands, rubber stoppers, sea salt, drain hose assemblage, and complete instructions, including a 24 page teacher's resource booklet with assembly instructions and a reproducible 16 page student activities booklet.
