Rocks, Minerals, and
Fossils of the U.S.A. Collection
The specimens in this collection are representatives of rocks, minerals, and fossils of the
50 United States that are either mined for their
economic value or are commonly found in the
state listed. Some minerals and fossils have
been deemed a “State Gem” or “State Fossil,”
which is noted, as well as other fast facts. Fifty
specimens, approximately 1" x 1", number
coded in compartmentalized container.
Sh. wt. 0.82 kgs.
SB46093M — $64.00
NASCO Rock Collection
This is a basic study and reference
collection, containing five igneous
rocks, five metamorphic rocks, and
five sedimentary rocks. Specimens
include obsidian, granite, basalt,
scoria, rhyolite, sandstone, limestone,
shale, travertine, conglomerate,
slate, marble, quartzite, gneiss, and
amphibolite. These are all typical of
the rock group in which they fall,
and are basic representatives of the
group. Complete set of 15 numbered
1 1 ⁄2" specimens in a compartmentalized
container. Sh. wt. 0.85 kgs.
SB10942M — $28.55
Rock Study Kit. Includes: five each
of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
rocks, activity guide, and
magnifying glass. Sh. wt. 0.40 kgs.
SB39180M — $27.10
Basic Rock
Collection
A great introduction to igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic
rocks. The 5½" x 4¼"
full-color cardstock holds 18
specimens measuring ½"-¾"
that explain the difference
in these three types of rocks.
Packaged in a resealable zip
lock bag. Grades 5-9.

Classifying Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic Rocks
Students learn that certain natural resources are often found in
association with certain rocks. A reading on the formation of
igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks supplements
student observations as they
examine, describe, and
group rock samples.
Rocks samples in kit
are 1" x 2" x 1" or
larger and clearly
show characteristics
of each rock type.
Includes step-by-step
student worksheets.
Materials for 32 students.
Grades 6-12. Sh.
wt. 1.90 kgs.
SB40664M — $130.85
Metamorphic Rocks Collection
In geologic processes usually
associated with pressure and
heat, igneous, sedimentary,
and other metamorphic rocks
may be reformed to become
new metamorphic rocks.
These important processes are
better understood through
study of representative metamorphic
rocks. Contains 15
numbered 1 1 ⁄2" natural specimens
in a compartmentalized
container. Sh. wt. 0.88 kgs.
SB10944M — $30.05
Sedimentary Rocks Collection
The erosion and degradation processes which are at work on all materials exposed on
the earth’s surface produce sediments which become reconsolidated through compaction
and precipitation. Representative sedimentary end products compose this study
unit. Contains 15 numbered 1 1 ⁄2" natural specimens in a compartmentalized container.
Sh. wt. 0.82 kgs.
SB10945M — $31.25
Rocks and Rock-Forming Collection
A basic study and reference collection including six rock-forming minerals,
six igneous rocks, six sedimentary rocks, and six metamorphic rocks. Contains 24 numbered
1 1 ⁄4" natural specimens, compartmentalized container, and Rocks and Minerals
Study Guide. Sh. wt. 0.68 kgs.
SB10936M — $45.85
Chemical & Mechanical Weathering of Rocks
What impact do chemicals and the elements have on rocks? Your students will observe
the action and rate of such chemical weathering processes as oxidation, carbonation,
and acidity. They’ll also gain
insight into the relationship
environmental factors such as
temperature and abrasion have
with rocks. Investigations will
reveal what factors most influence
chemical and mechanical
weathering. In the process, they
will determine which rock types
are affected the most by each of
these processes and, conversely,
which chemicals and elements
have the greatest impact on
the rocks. Grades 5-12. Sh. wt.
1.81 kgs.

Rock Cycle Activity
Playing in groups of four, students
record what happens to their
set of igneous, sedimentary, and
metamorphic rocks. After completing
the game, students share results. A
detailed student sheet guides students
on how to use their results to
describe the rock cycle. Includes
eight complete sets of the
game so the entire class
can play simultaneously.
