American Educational Seismograph Model

The American Educational Seismograph Model demonstrates the measurement of seismic waves generated by earthquakes by using a stylus and paper roll to record the intensity of simulated earthquakes. This tabletop unit measures 12" wide and 9" high when assembled. Seismograph models are used in educational settings to complement the study of earthquakes and to introduce seismology and the Richter scale.

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.

American Educational Products manufactures learning materials in math, science, and reading/language arts for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12, under the Scott Resources, Hubbard Scientific, National Teaching Aids, and Ginsberg Scientific brands. The company, founded in 1986, is headquartered in Fort Collins, CO.
