Science Materials

A. Available from Stanislaus County Office of Education

GEMS Kits will be available soon.

California Ground Water: This workshop teaches use of the California Ground Water Model - a cut-away cross section mockup showing ground water conditions common in California. This workshop provides the participant with the basic knowledge for setup, use and cleanup. Only one model is available at SCOE.

Starlab: Starlab is a portable planetarium, inflated by forced air, which allows for images to be projected on the inside ceiling. Starlab is large enough to accomodate classes of thirty two students. Workshop training provides participants with the basic knowledge for setting up, using the projector, and tearing down Starlab. More information about Starlab is available at the Starlab website. Two Starlabs are available at SCOE. http://www.Starlab.com

Enviroscape: Enviroscape is a portable, interactive, three-dimensional landscape model
addressing non-point source pollution, hazardous waste, and ground water issues. The
Enviroscape workshop training provides participants with the basic knowledge for setup, use, and cleanup. SCOE has two Enviroscapes available, with additional ground water and landfill components. http://www.enviroscapes.com/
