The American Educational Ores of Common Metals Collection contains 15 common metal ore specimens for studying rock and mineral properties in classroom demonstrations and experiments. Ore is a rock containing economically valuable mineral elements or compounds that are typically extracted in mining and refining operations. The set includes bauxite, chalcopyrite, malachite, chrysocolla, pyrite, hematite, magnetite, limonite, banded iron formation of silica and hematite, siderite, dolomite, pyrolusite, cassiterite, sphalerite, and beryl. Each specimen is approximately 1-1/2" long. The set comes with a segmented tray for organizing and displaying the specimens. Ore specimens are used in geology and other scientific applications. Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. American Educational Products manufactures learning materials in math, science, and reading/language arts for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12, under the Scott Resources, Hubbard Scientific, National Teaching Aids, and Ginsberg Scientific brands. The company, founded in 1986, is headquartered in Fort Collins, CO.
