A wide variety of geology and earth science-related kits, tools, and supplies for classroom use. Products include rock/mineral specimens, rock picks, Moh's hardness kits, educational models, streak plates, rock/mineral test kits, and rock tumblers.
Demonstrates underlying strata and typical phenomenon of water erosion features in Arizona, Utah, the Grand Canyon, and the Grand Staircase. Includes a numbered key card to help students identify 27 distinct geological landscapes.
For use as tool to explain specific gravity to students - EISCO Galena Mineral Specimen is used in classroom identification labs and exercises, correlates well to Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements.
Illustrates important folds and faults found in Earth's crust. Model provides a visual/tactile view of symmetric, asymmetric, recumbent, over thrust, and neppe folds. Normal, reverse, strike slip, horst and graben faults are also represented.
For use in exercises in igneous rock classification. EISCO Volcanic Tuff Specimen (Igneous Rock) is formed by ash and dust deposited during explosive volcanic eruptions that eventually become compacted and lithified, forming large packages of tuff. These
Useful for illustrating important folds and faults found in Earth's crust. Students can understand fold planes, the effect of tectonics stress, and structural elements of a fault.
This freestanding seismograph model simulates all the parts of a seismograph and can produce a record of localized movement by running a pencil over a roll of paper. The measurements made by the seismograph can be studied and analyzed, allowing students to compare several different seismic events.
For use in studying both igneous and metamorphic rocks. EISCO Hornblende (Amphibole Mineral) Specimen is part of group of minerals known as amphiboles, which are chemically and structurally similar to pyroxenes, but include water in their atomic structure
