American Educational Products Plastic Column Kit for the Study of Porosity

The Plastic Column Kit from American Educational Products enables students to investigate these properties as well as principles such as density (turbidity) currents, and settling rates. The study of the movement of water is an essential topic in earth science. The science is used for studying the effect of porosity and permeability on aquifer distribution, and integrates geological concepts with math, measurement, and percentage calculation skills for additional comprehension. The kit has a tube, drainage fixture, screen, and bead set for demonstration purposes, and is made of plastic for durability. The 3182 has a teacher’s guide for instructional use, and is suitable for grades 6 to 12 and ages 11 to 18.
