The American Educational Talc Steatite Soapstone is a metamorphic rock composed mainly of talc with varying amounts of other minerals for studying rock and mineral properties in classroom demonstrations and experiments. This nonporous, nonabsorbent rock is soft enough to be carved, and is resistant to heat, acids, and alkalis. The sample weighs approximately 1kg and consists of one or more specimens. Soapstone is used in geology and other scientific applications as well as for carving and other artistic and practical uses.
Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
