Now you can demonstrate to your classthe forces behind continental drift: the creation of newlithosphere at mid-ocean ridges which serves to push the tectonic plates apart. You'll be able to retrace theprocess over the past 150 million years, providing visual'snapshots' as the earth evolved through the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods and into the Cenozoic Era.

Household uses of Rocks & MineralsAn inquiry-based activity on the properties and uses ofnatural resources in the home. Did you know that most of the items used in our homes are mined from theearth? Fluorite is used in toothpaste and paint pigments,feldspar is found in soaps, and halite in mouthwashes -among many, many others! Your students will perform a series of hands-on experiments to determine the properties of various rocks and minerals as well as theircommon uses. Based upon their investigations, they willeven try to identify new applications for particular rocksand minerals. Class size – 40 students.

MicroLife Water Monitoring Kit The kit is designed to provide a simple, affordable andsafe method of performing basic water quality tests. Thewritten material applies to the testing of surface waterfrom rivers and dams, however some of the tests can bedone on ground water too. The test for residual chlorineapplies to treated water only. The kit contains enoughequipment to enable most of the chemical tests to beconducted on ten different water samples. Armed withthe results of the various tests you complete, you shouldbe able to safely conclude whether the water you aretesting is in a good, fair or bad condition. You should thenbe able to make some recommendation or determine appropriate actions to improve not only the quality ofthe water, but also the lives and living conditions of the people who depend on this natural resource. Your samples will require confirmatory testing at a recognisedreference centre. Results generated with this kit are to be used as a rough qualitative guide only and are for educational purposes only.
