A The Water Cycle Students explore where water comes from and how it affects every aspect of their lives. Step by step, they discover how much water people, animals, plants and industry need to survive. The game enables them to learn about the complexity of the water cycle and how the planet recycles it. Learn about:

• The water cycle

• Amazing facts about water

• How much water we use

• How we can save water

Includes game board, 24 jigsaw pieces, 4 counters, extensive teacher’s notes in 4 languages and 1 dice. For 2 to 4 players.

B8R05675 each £ 14.50

B Water Cycle Model This model investigates the water cycle, acid rain, pollution, evaporation and condensation, fresh water from salt water and how materials change. It is simple to set up and operate.

Choose whether to fi ll the ocean with fresh water, salt water, diluted vinegar or any other safe “pollutant”.

Load the cloud with ice and switch on a lamp. The water cycle will begin and rain will fall over the hills and run into the rivers and lake before fl owing into the sea. The rain is not melted ice, which is self-contained. The Rainmaker lid remains clear enabling the water cycle to be observed.

The instructions provide full details for quickly and easily making safe organic indicators. Raindrops, rivers, lake and sea can then be tested to determine whether they are neutral, acid or alkaline.

Experiments can be conducted using food colouring or brown sugar as “pollutants”. Investigate how we can help nature and protect the environment.

Full teacher’s notes, with experiments and instructions are included. Lamp not supplied.

E Hydrocarbons Kit Petroleum and natural gas are found in the Earth’s subsurface with the tools of petroleum geology and are a signifi cant source of fuel and raw materials for the production of organic chemicals. The extraction of liquid hydrocarbon fuel from sedimentary basins is integral to modern energy development. Hydrocarbons are mined from tar sands and oil shale, and potentially extracted from sedimentary methane hydrates. These reserves require distillation and upgrading to produce synthetic crude and petroleum. Hydrocarbons are economically important because major fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, and its derivatives such as plastics, paraffi n, waxes, solvents and oils are hydrocarbons.

Kit contains:

1. Cap rock: mudstone

2. Reservoir rock (limestone)
