Science Friday!

It's Science Friday at Education Works! Just showing some of the many science manipulatives and items we carry. From mentos-soda geysers, to instant snow, to microscopes and slides! We carry beakers and graduated cylinders, engineering kits, cellular models and anatomic models, magnetism work stations and so much much more!

Insta-Snow is an amazing powder that mixes with water into a white fluffy fake snow that looks just like the real thing.
Insta-snow is sodium polyacrylate, a water-absorbent polymer used in detergent and diapers. Insta-snow could be used for science lessons, especially chemistry and the chemistry of polymers. For instance, add regular table salt to see the snow "melt."
The water will evaporate within a few days, returning the insta-snow to its original powdered form which can be reused.

Puppets can serve as educational and theraputic aids for children, and can be used with learning or emotional problems. Puppets help children express feelings, be creative, role play, and act out dreams.
We feature a wide variety of hand puppets, finger puppets and store-telling gloves. We also have table top and free standing puppet theaters.

Wikki-Stix are unique educational tools

They are also great for building hand-eye coordination: you might used them to form letters, numbers or symbols directly; or to outline an area for tracing or shading.

Learning Wrap-ups

Learning Wrap-Ups are mathematical manipulatives that reinforce various operational skills. This video demonstrates addition; there's also subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. Students wrap the string from the problem on the left to the answer on the right and flip the wrap up over to check their work. If they've done it correctly, the string will match the lines shown on the back.
Each Wrap-up includes 10 self-correcting boards. Also available in classpacks.
