Description

CPO Science features complete, coordinated active learning core curriculum programs rich in STEM connections and aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The GeoBox is an exclusively-designed transparent plastic container with two interchangeable lids offers hands-on exploration of many earth and physical science topics. The flat topographical lid, along with the included landforms, allows students to trace contours of elevation and create a topographic map. The convection chamber lid with two 3-inch-high smokestacks gives students an upfront view of the development of a convection cell. The versatile GeoBox can also be used to demonstrate the water cycle, investigate the difference between heating and cooling of land and water, study wave speed, and much more.

STEM concepts covered in GeoBox include buoyancy, convection, environmental engineering, erosion, floating, floods, groundwater, heating and cooling of land and water, liquid convection, pollutants, salinity, topographic mapping, water cycle, water speed, and wetlands.
