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.
Wood framed reference chart, complete with mounted specimens. 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.
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 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.
Learn concepts of air pollution and its harmful effects using one form of a common air pollutant, sulfur dioxide on experiments with plant life. This kit provides instruction, apparatus and materials to experiment with plant seedlings exposed to a sulfur dioxide atmosphere at a known concentration which produces an effect on plant life that can easily be observed within several days.
Ideal field test kit for performing 4 important experiments on water pollution. Test water samples for dissolved oxygen content, chlorides, phosphates, and water hardness. This kit provides all the apparatus and materials necessary for performing each test several times. Comes complete with instruction booklet.
A sensational collection that reveals the varied geological specimens found in the United States. Collection includes specimens from each of the 50 States. The rock, mineral or fossil selected to represent that state is individually "keyed" for identification. The key also includes a useful fact and a geologic feature for each individual state. Specimen size 1" x 1" x 1". Grades 3-12. Ages 8-18.
