Innovating Science® Formation of a Native Copper Mineral Deposit Of all the naturally occurring metals, copper is one of the most useful and versatile. Evidence suggests copper has been used by humans for at least 10,000 years. Copper is used in architecture, electrical wiring, water pipes, and plumbing fixtures. It is found in automobiles and a variety of electronics and electronic devices. It is used in electrical motors, generators, and turbines. It is an important part of heat exchangers found in refrigeration and air conditioning units, and is found on circuit boards and in electromagnets. While copper is typically extracted from copper-containing mineral ores that must be treated and refined to obtain the pure metal, copper also exists in nature in its native elemental form. This is the rarest and most valuable form of copper as it is the easiest to process to obtain pure metal. In this activity, students will create specific environment conditions and examine the formation of native copper deposits over several days. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher’s Guide and Student Study and Analysis copymasters are included. Kit Includes: 200g Copper Sulfate 200g Sodium Chloride 30 Iron nails 15 Plastic vials 50 Filter paper discs, 25mm 15 Hand magnifiers DOT Info: Non-regulated

Soil Analysis Soil composition has been a keystone experiment in earth science classrooms for many years. Our soil analysis kit will teach students the skills needed to properly conduct soil composition tests as well as allow them to collect and evaluate local soil samples. By bringing in local soil samples the students can build a stronger connection to their own local environment while still building on a knowledge base that can be applied to any other environment. Kit contains enough materials for 10 groups. Teacher’s Guide and Student Study and Analysis copymasters are included. Kit Includes: 10 x 1.5mL Universal Indicator Solution 10 Universal Indicator Solution Color Chart 28mL Bromoform 28mL Bromobenzene 10 x 6mL 0.5M Potassium Chromate 10 x 6mL 0.5 M Hydrochloric Acid 10 x 12g Soil Sample A 10 x 12g Soil Sample B 10 x 12g Soil Sample C 10 x 12g Soil Sample D

Mohs Hardness
Geology Time Scale Poster
Mohs hardness scale was created by Fredrich Mohs in 1812. Since then, the Mohs hardness scale has assisted geologists in determining the identity of minerals. The activities in this kit will familiarize students with Mohs hardness scale and help them develop vital skills they will use throughout their studies in earth science. This kit also provides an opportunity to take samples from the local environment and investigate the relative hardness of the minerals around them. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher’s Guide and Student Study and Analysis copymasters are included.
The Innovating Science Geological Time Scale shows major evolutionary events from 4.5 Billion Years Ago to present. Students can visualize the milestones of geologic history. The events are color coded to the Period or Epoch in which they occurred.
