FORENSICS OF SOIL & MINERAL ANALYSIS

A crime has been committed and it's up to you to help prove who did it.

  • This kit has been designed to introduce students to the field of forensic soil analysis by providing them with a set of soil and glass samples that have been recovered from a crime scene to compare with a set of samples taken from various suspects.
  • Students will compare samples based on physical observations using polarized, UV and standard light both under ambient conditions and after heating the samples.
  • The properties of the samples will be tested by measuring particle size distributions, material acidity, particle density gradient and mineral composition.
  • This kit contains 10 unique sets of materials that will accommodate up to 30 students when working in groups of 3.
  • Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
