- Perfect for science fair projects
- Super-fast generation time
- Interdisciplinary use
Brassica rapa. Wisconsin Fast Plants® polycots sprout more than 2 cotyledon leaves. The trait is easy to identify and visible immediately after germination. A relatively rare trait in nature, this advanced research stock was developed to investigate the heritability of the easily observable seedling trait (3 or more cotyledons) in a population of Fast Plants®. The generation resulting from these seeds will express approximately 30% polycots. Selection for the polycot trait will produce increased polycot frequency in subsequent generations. Main uses include selection studies. Pack of 100 seeds.
Great for small groups or for students who are learning from home!
Grades 612. Students race to the finish with balloon-powered race cars and Newton's laws of motion. They design, build, and test a prototype race car, and then explore how changes to the wheels, body, and balloon alter performance. This hands-on kit gives students the opportunity to learn how to design to overcome friction and stabilizing forces. It includes activity instructions and enough safe-at-home materials for up to 3 design teams.

Exploring electricity and magnetism is a snap with Snap Circuits®
Snap Circuits® uses building pieces with snaps that enable students to assemble electronic circuits on a simple rows-and-columns base grid that functions like a printed circuit board. Each component has a distinct function and is easily identified by color. With this hands-on kit, students can learn about the relationship between electricity and magnetism and how switches operate to control the lights in their homes. Requires 4 AA batteries (not included).
- Build over 85 projects with over 45 included parts (lamps, switches, magnets, and more!)
- Inspire students to learn with the included STEM-focused educational manual

Explore hydroponics and explain its uses and limitations as a tool to help sustain human populations and manage natural resources. In this investigation, students design a solution for producing enough food for growing populations and the shift from rural to urban communities. They grow plants hydroponically in a modified ebb and flow system, analyze data from their hydroponic systems, and make recommendations about using hydroponics.
Curriculum Connection
While designed for a stand-alone earth science course, this series of activities could be incorporated into a high school biology course.
Time Requirements
Teacher prep, 60 minutes. Completing the activities, approximately 2 weeks1 day to set up investigation 1 (60 minutes), periodic monitoring for 2 weeks (5 minutes per day), 1 day for investigation 2 (60 minutes), and 1 day for analysis (60 minutes).
Digital Resources
Includes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and setup videos, phenomenon videos, simulations, and post-lab analysis and assessments.
