The study of rocks is an essential part of studying the age and evolution of Earth. In Rocks, students will examine the characteristics of each of the major types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. From stalactites and stalagmites to intrusive and extrusive rocks, students will examine how rocks are formed in this exciting program. A visit to Mammoth Mountain in California showcases the interesting rock formation known as the Obsidian Dome, while a fun, hands-on demonstration illustrates how different sized-particles of sediment settle out of water at different rates. Part of the Earth Science in Action DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades 5 to 8.
This parameter is important in determination of the corrosive properties of water, caused by carbonates, bicarbonates as well as dissolved salts. Testing alkalinity is important in the treatment of drinking water, waste water, swimming pools, heating and cooling systems, food and beverage systems, and soil and environmental testing, as well as in agriculture, farming and fish farming. Includes 110 tests.
It’s time to start mixing things up! In this pretend STEM scenario, you are a chemist for a bath and body products company and it’s your job to make and test different cosmetic products. Use the tools in your laboratory to employ different scientific techniques and essential chemistry principles to make soaps and bath bombs. Try out different additives to affect the color, smell, and other qualities of the products you make.
Real science and pretend play come together in this activity-filled kit that can be used alone or as an extension of the Ooze Labs Chemistry Station (a Parents’ Choice Silver Honor winner!). As you mold different glycerin soap shapes, you learn about the chemical properties of soap that help it pick up and wash away dirt. While you’re concocting bath bombs, you learn about how acids and bases combine to form fizzing reactions, and what a pH level is. Expand your cosmetics knowledge with an overview of the biology of skin care and other science related to soap and bath products. All materials and chemicals are non-toxic.

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.
