Models
Engage students in your curriculum by bringing interactive and highly detailed models into the classroom. Displaying subject content visually, individuals are more likely to comprehend and retain the covered material. The simple models are easy to put together and are more helpful than two-dimensional representations for learning complex structures. The models are built of durable, structurally sound materials that will endure years of handling and cleaning.
BoneClones® Bald Eagle Skeleton
Once on the brink of extinction with only 800 pairs, they have been increasing steadily, now with close to 3000 breeding pairs. We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Vertebrate Zoology Department at the Santa Barbara Museum of natural history for lending us this fine specimen from their collection. The bald eagle is federally protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Act and by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This cast would be a great addition to any biology, zoology or ornithology program studying comparative bird skeletal anatomy.
