Theme: Visualizing Earth Systems
The following list gives details of the items that were included by the American Geosciences Institute (AGI) in the “2015 Premium Toolbox” that was prepared for our partner schools in Denver and Houston. The quantities given are what were provided in the AGI toolbox, with the intent of outfitting a classroom of 30 students. There are many alternative items that can be used. Please refer to the Teaching Activities Guide to see how the items are used so that you can consider what will work in your setting. Though we were satisfied with our experience and item performance, AGI does not necessarily endorse the providers or the specific items listed.
