Biodegradability Classroom Kit, (77883)

The ETA hand2mind (77883) Biodegradability Kit includes containers and materials for hands-on experience studying, observing, and recording biodegradability and sustainability of various materials, and is designed for classroom use for grade 5-9 (age 10-15). Clear containers allow students to observe and record changes of various materials, adjustable vents vary the amount of moisture and air allowed in the container, and cages are designed to allow students to use their own samples. The kit includes 6 containers, T-sections of copper, aluminum, tin, and cardboard, hot and cold water-soluble plastics, rapid-degrading film, clip frames, and open and closed frames. A teacher's guide includes suggestions for exercises. Each container measures 145 x 120 mm (H x W). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right.)

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

ETA hand2mind develops educational and supplemental materials for teaching math, science, reading/language arts for pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Vernon Hills, IL.
