Details

After a class discussion of matter and the fact that matter may differ from other matter in a variety of ways, students will examine three different solids individually and observe some differences in physical properties. Sand, iron filings and salt will be observed and tested using water and magnets. Based on what they find individually they will come up with a method (as a class or as groups) to separate a mixture of all three. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.

..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!

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.
