Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful model, your students will get an engaging overview of the rock cycle.

Using the ready-to-use materials provided with each 3-D model set, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predictions and communicate ideas to others.

Your students will make model rocks using the colorful templates provided, which feature real rock images. Then they’ll use them to look at how rocks are formed and the connections between different types of rock. The dynamic model-making set provides comprehensive coverage of igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively, along with a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide.

Also includes a comprehensive, illustrated Teacher Resource Guide for effective preparation and integration of the models’ use in instruction.
