Also included are four quality hand lenses and a color identification chart designed to provide clues and answers for the student user. Grades 6-12. Ages 11-18.
The Earth Science Book Plus Series provides colorful teaching models and reproducible activity cards that teach children about earth science. The models are made of resilient, non-toxic, EVA foam, with removable pieces that stimulate problem-solving skills and develop small motor skills. The book covers contain background information, activities and extension ideas. Teachers can cut out the task card and use it in a learning center or as a group activity. The models are 10" x 14.5" x 3/4" thick.The Water Cycle model illustrates precipitation, evaporation, condensation and runoff. It shows that water is constantly reused and recycled and also illustrates how clouds are formed. Available in French. Grades K 6.
This hands-on project enables students to examine and identify individual rock specimens as a study unit in earth science. Each classroom activity project includes: one wood framed reference chart, complete with mounted specimens, 30 student charts (reproductions of the reference chart on heavy card stock), 30 specimens of each rock represented to be studied and glued on each chart during the activity, one test kit, and the Scott Resources' Rocks and Minerals Study Guide. The evidence supporting the theory of Plate Tectonics is shown on this chart. Rock specimens that illustrate the variety of processes related to the Earth's dynamic crust are mounted on this 18" X 24" chart. Grades: 4 - 12.

The relationship between resources that are renewable in one human life span and the associated products are clearly illustrated on this visually appealing chart. Students will be enticed to investigate the worldwide resources for materials they use every day. This chart complements the Investigating Non-Resources chart. Representative natural materials and the corresponding everyday products are mounted on a sturdy, wood framed 18"x 24" image. Grades 6-12.
Students explore North America's mineral and rock resources and how man uses them all. Mounted natural specimens and corresponding man made products (i.e. gypsum and wallboard, bauxite and aluminum) are placed on a map of North America. 18"x24" in wood frame. Grades 6-12.
This 3-D model, 24"W x 18"H, depicts the substructures of all types of rock formations and incorporates hands-on activities as students match the rock specimens to the substructure. Graphic representation of the rock beds and real rock samples. Includes comprehensive Teacher's Guide which contains lab activities, color overhead transparency, blackline reproduction master, and 20 rock and sediment specimens. Transparent model cover and marking pen also included. Grades 5-12.

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.
