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.
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
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.
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.
For use in learning about differential stresses and foliation in metamorphic rocks. EISCO Augen Gneiss Specimen (Metamorphic Rock) is high-grade metamorphic rock formed from other rocks undergoing alteration from intense heat and pressure.
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.
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.
