The the model includes detailed visuals of the mouth, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines in normal position. The stomach is enlarged and dissected to show structural details, and the small intestine is enlarged to show the blood and lymph vessels. This hands on 3-D model makes learning easier for students by providing them with a clear visual representation of the human digestive system. The model includes a large (oversize) colourful model and an activity guide which includes a key with numbers corresponding to the numbers on the model, a glossary, an overhead transparency, a blackline master, and fifteen teacher-developed activities. This visual aid can help students learn more about the functions of the digestive system, such as ingestion, digestion, and the absorption of nutrients, and can be used as a demonstrative or group activity tool.

They’re sure to have fun playing Q-bitz! For 2-4 players, this pattern-recognition game comes equipped with four sets of 16 wooden cubes in a small tray and 80 Q-bitz cards depicting different patterns for the players to recreate. The game is not simply recreating the pattern on the card, however! There are three different types of rounds: <ul><li>Round 1 is straightforward: players race to put their wooden cubes in the tray in the same pattern as in on the card.</li> <li>Round 2 adds a complication: luck. All players must roll their cubes like dice, and only the upward-facing side of the cube may be used to recreate the pattern on the card. Players must re-roll the cubes they cannot use until they roll the shapes needed to continue recreating the pattern.</li> <li>Round 3 adds a different complication: memory. When the Q-bitz card for this round is turned over, players have only 10 seconds to memorize the pattern on the card. The card is then turned face-down, and players must recreate the pattern from memory. The first player to successfully recreate the pattern from memory (or who has the most cubes in the correct pattern) wins the round.</li> </ul>The goal of this game is speed and accuracy: the first player to correctly recreate the pattern on the card using their cubes wins that round and gets the card. After nine rounds, the player who has won the most cards wins the game. For children ages 8 and up, this game is an excellent resource for classes learning about patterns.

The instruction sheet included in the kit features a brief history of the X-ray and an explanation of how it works. It also includes fun activities to explore x-rays and the human body, as well as an image of a full body skeleton that students can use to label the various parts of the skeleton. The kit also included 18 plastic X-rays of various sections of the body, from the skull to the feet, and everything in between. You can lay out the entire skeleton on a light table or a window and use the large bone labels included in the kit to map out the various bones in the body. Both the instructional sheet and label sheet come in English and French.

Using the United Prism Set you can easily create classroom activities that are as beautiful as they are scientific and informative. The Prism Set contains six acrylic prisms in five different shapes, including an equilateral prism, a rectangular block, a semi-circular block, as well as concave and convex lenses. The accompanying teaching guide gives sample activities as well as a short history on the study of light to aid in your lessons. Using the prism set, ask your students to make inferences about how a double concave lens refracts light, to hypothesize what path light will take traveling through a rectangular prism, and to investigate what happens during magnification with a rounded prism. Through classroom discussion of the operations of geometry, the changes in density, and the nature of light, your students will learn the science behind their magical interactions with the colourful rays.

Cards are dealt among the players, each one showing a plant or animal in the forest and listing what the organism eats and is eaten by. Players take turns challenging each other, winning cards from others that fall lower on the food chain. The cards can also be used to play versions of Solitaire, Concentration, and Rummy. The kit includes 41 cards, a score pad, and detailed instructions. Also included is the Nature’s forest food web, an illustrated chart that shows how all animals depend on plants, which are at the beginning of the food chain. Recommended for 2-6 players, age 7 and up.

Recommended for grades 3 and up, the kit contains 12 labelled sedimentary rock specimens including siltstone, sandstone, rock salt, coal, limestone, arkose, conglomerate, fossiliferous limestone, mudstone, shale, travertine, and rock gypsum. The kit also includes a full-colour identification chart, a storage tray and information guide. The information guide makes using this kit in the classroom fun and easy! It explains what sedimentary rocks are, and provides examples for how they are formed by different types of sediment. The guide then provides a brief explanation of what each of the rock specimens is made from, how each has formed, and what they are used for in the real world. Use this kit to supplement your class notes about sedimentary rocks with the real thing! If your students seem particularly enthusiastic about rocks and rock collecting, the information guide also provides some tips and tricks to help them search for rocks to add to their own collections. Overall, this kit is great for hands-on learners and assists students with making connections between what they learn in the classroom and the physical examples available in the kit. If you are teaching a unit or lesson on different rock formations, the Sedimentary Rock Collection kit can be used as a companion with both the <a href="https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/items/show/660">Igneous Rock Collection</a> and <a href="https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/items/show/662">Metamorphic Rock Collection</a> kits, which are also available at the OISE Library.
