Picture of productDinosaurs & Fossils Experiment Kit



Four billion years of life on Earth, slightly abridged

Earth's Natural History

Long before history was ever recorded, fascinating creatures swam in oceans, soared through skies, and roamed across terrains very different from those of Earth today.

Humans have never laid eyes on these creatures, so how do we know about them? How did they come to be, and why are they not around today? What was Earth like millions and even billions of years ago?

From the first microscopic single-celled organisms to the largest whales alive today, life has been emerging, flourishing, and dying out on Earth for nearly four billion years. Discover how fossils are the keys to unlocking our understanding of prehistoric life.

Learn about many species of dinosaurs and pterosaurs, some of the most prolific and impressive creatures to ever exist on Earth. Find out how fossils form, make models of your own, and examine a real fossil. Delve into the geologic ages of Earth and uncover the creatures that defined them.

The 32-page book guides your experiments and discoveries. Manufacturer: TK. Manufacturer's Part Number: 632618.

Picture of productEarthquakes & Volcanoes Experiment Kit



Earthquakes in the living room and volcanoes in the kitchen

Geology and Earth Science

Earth has been restless ever since it solidified from a giant ball of gas more than 4.6 billion years ago. Since then, earthquakes have shaken the continents and oceans, and volcanoes have spewed out the molten insides of our planet.

But what exactly are these awe-inspiring and devastating natural phenomena? Why do they occur, and why are they often in the same regions? How have they affected human civilization?

By studying earthquakes and volcanoes, you can begin to understand the inner workings and layered composition of Earth. Discover plate tectonics, and see how volcanoes and earthquakes are just the consequences of the constant movement of the planets parts. Erupt two types of volcanoes to imitate how lava hardens into rock and volcanic mountains grow. Build a working seismograph to see for yourself how scientists measure earthquake forces. Learn about the most famous volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis in history.
