Produktbeschreibung

ScienceWiz(R) Volcanic Rocks Collection includes 10 large samples, each about 1 inch in diameter. These ten rocks are displayed inside a tray encased inside a windowed, cardboard sleeve. The tray slides open like a matchbox. Included inside is a guide to the collection. Each volcanic (igneous) rock description links (QR code) to further information online, that includes videos, activities, animations and games. This collection includes an arrowhead made with obsidian, a volcanic glass. It contains pumice, a stone that floats in water. The surface of the oceanic crust is paved with basalt, which is also in this collection. Learn how volcanic activity along the 40,390 miles (65,000 kilometers) long mid-oceanic ridge extrudes this basalt. Hold it in your hand as you discover that basalt is also most common rock found on the rocky planets, including Mars and our Moon. Touch and identify granite, the igneous rock that forms our continents. Explore why Earth is called a granite planet and why granite is far more rare on other planets in our solar system. The igneous rocks in this collection include: basalt, pumice, obsidian, scoria, granite, an obsidian arrow head, dalmatian, gabbro, rhyloite and an igneous rock with the mineral magnetite

Autorenporträt

Penny Norman, Ph.D. earned a doctoral degree in Biophysics from U.C. Berkeley. She became involved with the development of primary grade science materials through volunteer work, which she began as her own children started school. During this process she became deeply concerned about the limited exposure of elementary age students to the physical sciences. Her concern has translated into a 20 year effort to test and revamp science materials for the primary grades. Her work with children developed into a product line initially under the auspices of grants from the National Science Foundation and the Franklin Foundation. Her published titles reflect Dr. Norman's extensive testing and involvement with children and teachers and her love and commitment to both.
