Introduce your students to the world of minerals. Provide your class with a hands-on lesson in the formation and characteristics of minerals. Using the set of specimens provided, the students observe the distinct characteristics of minerals and perform a variety of tests to classify them with respect to hardness, streaking, color, luster, specific gravity and reaction to acids. They'll also grow their own microcrystals to understand how crystals form beneath the earth's surface and what environmental conditions are required. Your students will identify minerals based upon their physical properties. Determine the hardness of common minerals using Mohs scale of hardness. Examine the crystalline structure of minerals. Calculate the specific gravity of mineral samples. Predict the reaction of specific minerals to hydrochloric acid. Investigate how crystals form from liquids. Class Size: 40 Students. Grades: 7-10.
Investigate the rock cycle. What is a rock? What is the rock cycle? How do rocks form? How are they classified? Your students will answer these essential questions as they conduct a series of hands-on activities. Using the set of rock specimens included, they will observe the distinct characteristics of each type of rock and explore the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes of rock formation. Your students will Understand the processes that form igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Identify rocks by their physical characteristics. Classify igneous rocks as extrusive or intrusive. Classify sedimentary rocks as clastic, organic or chemical. Classify metamorphic rocks as foliated or nonfoliated. Model the effects of metamorphism on rocks. Relate different types of rocks to the processes of the rock cycle. Class Size: 40 Students. Grades: 7-10.
Watch how solids settle in layers at the bottom of a tank. Includes: Acrylics tank, slope, open tube, plastic drain tube and sprinkler head for plastic bottle. Dimensions: Tank - 11.8" x 2.8" x 5.9", Slope - 11.2" x 2.5" x 0.79", Open tube - 13" x 2.5" x 3.1", Plastic drain tube - 3.9"
Series of eight plastic raised relief models. Relates typical surface formations to subsurface structures that are shown as graphic cross sections on each model. Helps students to better understand the development of the landscape and the factor and force influencing the development. Geologic features are numbered and keyed to a comprehensive study guide. When combined, the 8 individual models form a continuous 8-foot long graphic landscape and landform reference. Each model is 12" x 15", printed in full color on durable plastic, thermo-formed and reinforced with rigid foam.
For use with 15297, 04235 and 98388 landform models. Set of 10 lab investigations workbooks includes 20 pages of activities involving students in locating and identifying features on the models, observing, speculating and recording the practical influence of geography upon economic and social activities of man.
Teaches basic map reading: how to determine location, elevation and understand scales and symbols. Each package includes a plastic terrain model with 5 corresponding stacking contour sheets, 5 unprinted stacking contour sheets for projects, a wall map of the relief model with 50 student project maps, and a grease pencil. All plastics may be marked and erased. Study Guide.
This accurate relief model features a view of the earth?s interior and atmosphere in the same scale. The 12-inch diameter plastic globe, mounted in a cradle base, crust, mantle, and inner and outer cores. Used as a relief globe, this White model can be used for many classroom activities. The removable disk also portrays the atmosphere, temp, air densities, distance and problems of space travel. Size 14" x 14".

In this step-by-step classroom project students examine and identify individual rock specimens. As each rock specimen is examined and identified, students progress toward the completion of their own rock reference charts. The Teacher's reference chart uses illustrations and actual specimens for students to consult as they identify unlabeled rock specimens. For grades 6-12.
