Supplementary Science Kits

Physical Science
Introduce, review, and reinforce important science concepts with Science in a Nutshell. Students explore and discover science concepts and processes through inquiry-based and hands-on learning. Fun, meaningful activities are designed for student-directed individual or small-group learning.
Available as individual Nutshell Kits, Class Packs, and Cluster Kits

Bubble Science Grades 2 -6 Use critical thinking skills while testing variables to learn what a bubble is, what makes it last, and what makes it burst.        Charge it! Static Electricity Grades 4 -6 Learn how to determine the presence and type of static charge in a body and how to transfer the charge or store it.        Clever Levers Grades 4 -6 Discover how levers we use every day allow us to change the position and motion of objects.        Crystal Creations Grades 3 -6 Grow real crystals and test variables to learn how to measure and record what affects their growth.        Detective Lab Grades 3 -6 Young detectives collect, record, and analyze data as they examine various materials.        Electrical Connections Grades 4 -6 Explore how electrical energy is transferred.        Electricity and Magnetism Cluster Grades 3 -6 Each Cluster Kit is a thematic science unit that includes materials and activities from 4 to 6 related Nutshell titles.        Electricity and Magnetism Cluster - Guide Only Grades 3 -6        Electromagnetism Grades 3 -6 Discover the properties of magnets and make an electromagnetic field!        Energy and Motion Grades 3 -6 Test how the variables of distance, weight, size, mass, and resistance affect energy.        Flight! Gliders to Jets Grades 4 -6 Explore the forces of gravity and air pressure and Newton's 3rd law of motion.        Gases Grades 4 -6 See how gases take up space and have mass.        Gears at Work Grades 4 -6 Investigate gear systems and learn how gears interact to transfer force and motion.        Investigating Matter Cluster Grades 3 -6 Each Cluster Kit is a thematic science unit that includes materials and activities from 4 to 6 related Nutshell titles.        Liquids Grades 4 -6 Investigate properties of liquids, such as their tendency to flow, viscosity, and whether they are miscible.        Magnetic Magic Grades 3 -6 Identify magnetic materials, and investigate polar strength.        Physical and Chemical Changes Grades 4 -6 Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes.        Pulley Power Grades 4 -6 Test variables to gain an understanding of how pulleys and pulley systems help us do work.        Simple Machines Cluster Grades 2 -6 Each Cluster Kit is a thematic science unit that includes materials and activities from 4 to 6 related Nutshell titles.        Sound Vibrations Grades 2 -6 Compare different sounds; discover the vibrations and frequency of sounds.        Water Physics Grades 4 -6 Explore water and its properties and observe how water behaves in the environment.        Wheels at Work Grades 4 -6 Test different types and properties of wheels, explore both rotating wheels and wheel-and-axle units, show how wheels transfer energy, and design a working wheeled machine.        Work: Plane and Simple Grades 5 -6 Investigate inclined planes, screws, and wedges. Calculate data and use graphs to record work.
