Widest Selection of Specimen Material
Individually hand-cut and selected for greater consistency in size and characteristic representation, our specimens are never crushed and sorted. Plus, we prepare, process, and assemble every kit and collection in our own on-site geology facility so we can ensure the highest teaching quality from start to finish.
Materials Designed to Match Your Curriculum Requirements
We prepare specimens in multiple size options to match your specific activity and save you time, so there’s no need to revise your lesson plans to match the specimen provided. Don’t have time to plan a complete lesson? Choose an activity kit with all the materials you need, plus comprehensive activity guides written by Ward’s Science geology experts and former educators.
