A safe, large 29pc rock set especially designed for Australian schools as part of the Teacher Earth Science Education Programme(TESEP). Includes one free registration to a TESEP professional development workshop.

One of the best rock kits available anywhere in the world and assembled by a dedicated team of TESEP geoscientists.

Purchase this set of 10 igneous, 9 metamorphic and 10 sedimentary rocks that are all:

• Large palm sized samples so key features can be studied

• Completely safe, free from asbestos, asbestos-like minerals and other toxic materials. Each rock sample has been inspected by TESEP geoscientists.

• Guaranteed to be what we say they are.

• Labelled with numbers with a list to ensure you always know which is which

• Nicely boxed, one box for each rock type (igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary)

• Free from distracting secondary minerals and other features not relevant to Australian year 8-9 students

• Collected from reliable sources for ease of replacement if lost or damaged beyond use

In addition, by registering for a free PD session (valid for one person), you will have access to:

• Stories about each rock, where they come from and how they formed
• Question and Answer materials to support student inquiry
• Extension materials including: 
• Virtual 3D versions online
• Virtual thin sections to see what they are like on the inside

Dimensions: 350 x 270mm x 100mm (W x D x H) each of 3 boxes.  This is a bulky item and may incur additional freight charges.

PLATE TECTONICS POSTER

Shows a 3D Earth cross section with Australia-relevant plate tectonics highlighting man’s utilization of Earth resources (cities, mines, energy networks), geo-hazards and water/rock cycles. Rock type locations are linked to the TESEP Australian Rock Kit (see item T392). The poster shows the genesis of different rock/mineral/energy resources and has downloadable links to geo-stories/3D microscope rock thin section photos/3D virtual field sites across Australia.
