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 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
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 studying hydrothermal alteration of rocks and minerals. EISCO Amphibolite Specimen (Metamorphic Rock) is formed from hornblende that has undergone significant amount of differential pressure.
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.
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.
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.
Tectonics Model showing detailed representations of the Earth's layers, including both active and passive margins, oceanic ridges with rift valley, Benioff plane, oceanic trenches, continental shelf and slopes.
