Often called water fleas, Daphnia are small crustaceans that are one of the most studied living organisms. They can be used to investigate the compound eye, digestive system, reproductive system, appendages used for movement and life cycle stages. They also make great experimental animals, commonly ...

Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava. It is a unique and fascinating rock found in various locations around the world, including New Zealand.WARNING: Take care with handling as the edges can be very sharp!Igneous: Rock formed from rapidly cooled lava flows...

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from cemented sand-sized grains. It is one of the most common sedimentary rocks found on Earth and is extensively distributed throughout New Zealand, particularly in the North Island.Sedimentary: Rock formed from the accumulation and cementing together of sand-...

Take the hassle out of fruitless searching for study animals. Commonly known in New Zealand as woodlice or slaters, Porcellio scaber is one of many species of terrestrial isopods that plays a vital role in decomposition and nutrient cycling. It is widely studied in secondary school science and biolo...

A fine-grained sedimentary rock that easily splits into thin, flat and often flaky layers.Schist Transition: In parts of Otago, shale like these samples are found in proximity to schist formations and exhibit early stages of metamorphism. It can be found in outcrops and appears sparkly from a distan...

consists of highly porous, bubbly volcanic glass. The gas bubbles (frothy texture) makes the rock lightweight. It will float on water for some time.Igneous: Produced when erupting magma is charged with gases (thus technically a volcanic igneous rock).Source location: Waikato.Sizes: Choose from dropd...

A science experiment kitEver wondered how to make gardening into a science, or, how to find the science in growing a garden? This kit does just that. It contains 13 experiments and the gear you need to perform experiments in your school garden. Find out about pollinators, beneficial insects, inhabit...

An excellent visual reference guide to insects, mites, you will find in gardens. Full of identification photos and superb illustrations. Control methods include IPM, biocontrol, insect pathogens, resistant plants, intercropping, companion plants, and so are great for sustainability concepts.Condition: New210x150mm, 147 pages

Identification guide to seaweeds around the coasts of New Zealand. Ideal for field trips.Condition: New210x140mm, 96 pages

Soft coastal rocks with holes created by marine molluscs. In New Zealand these are likely to be angel wing (Barnea similis), date mussel (Zelithophaga truncata) or piddocks (Pholadidea suteri and P. tridens) These holes are called trace fossils as they are evidence of the existence of past life, yet...

a mineral containing high concentrations of iron in the form of titanomagnetite (Fe2 (Fe3 ,Ti)2O4). It is used to manufacture iron and steel, and because of its high iron concentration, it is attracted to a magnet (see third picture; magnet is inside plastic bag).Size: 100g bagLocality: North Island...

Sand comprising almost entirely of multicoloured, crushed sea shells. Shells are made of calcium carbonate in the form of mineral calcite or aragonite.The shell fragments react with acid, e.g. white vinegar, to produce CO2 gas. This i llustrates how increased acidity of the oceans can erode the calc...

A white Northland sand consisting of very fine crystalline silica (SiO2) grains, i.e. almost pure quartz. Creates a very bright and glary beach. Used for glass-making in Whangarei and Auckland.The sand grains are best viewed under a magnifying glass or through a stereo microscope using good lighting.Size: 100g bagLocality: Northland, New Zealand.

consisting of quartz, orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars, calcite, iron oxides and graphitic, carbonaceous matters and other materials.Greywacke is 'New Zealand's rock', being the most common, and forming massive geological structures such as the Southern Alps. It originally formed from eroded sed...

These large paramecia are an ideal unicellular organism for study under a compound microscope. Visible are internal organalles (contractile vacuoles, macronucleous, food vacuoles, oral groove,.) and also their external beating cilia, using 100–200x magnification. Motility is by use of cilia and th...

A pack containing three important items for studying live water fleas (Daphnia) under the microscope: - pipettes with large holes to prevent damage to water fleas when transferring them to a slide; pipettes not intended for volume measurement- concave slides (slides with a shallow cavity) that hold ...

A pack containing sycamore seeds for engaging discovery-type activities and for simple investigations into spinning flight. See how spinning flight helps the seeds disperse away from the parent plant. A teacher's guide gives starter questions and investigation ideas. Great for engagement, observatio...
