CPO Science Middle School Earth Science Supplies List

[Leav97]

Does anyone have a supplies list for CPO Earth Science?  I've done a little bit of looking and found this kit through Frey Science but that is for a classroom and WAY out of my budget.

I am in the process of acquiring supplies so I can teach this in a co-op next year. I don't have anything written in a really great format. Do you know what labs you are going to do? We are not doing everything at co-op and I might skip some that would be left for home.  Right now I have a spreadsheet going with the week # for co-op, the name of the lab, and the supplies needed as a paragraph. I need to generate a better "list" for each week but for right now this is helping me sort things.

 

There a bunch of threads on here about CPO Earth Science and how people have modified some of the experiments (e.g. homemade geobox). I think if you search for the tag "CPO" or "Earth Science" they might come up? I can probably find them a bit later.

Here are some adapted labs with much cheaper materials:

I didn't make a list.  I opened the PFDs that are the 'student record sheets" and opened a shopping cart at home science tools. Then I filled up my cart. If it was something that required very specific equipment, that is when I put in my thinking cap and got creative. Sometimes that meant watching a youtube video of someone else doing a similar experiment, lol. But often, with things like the stream table, it was really a matter of just figuring out a workaround. It wasn't that difficult.

 

Instead of making a convection chamber we just watched my kid's lava lamp and talked about how it fit into the lesson. .

Redsquirrel do you remember what you did for the mountain blocks (aka buoyancy blocks)? I am not sure what to use as a replacement. (note: this is not the bathymetric mapping one)

we made the convection chamber. It was awesome and easy. And note to self... Incense will burn through cheap plastic and mar the dining room table....
