• Hardened steel construction for long-lasting durability in field conditions
• Octagonal cutting-edge design provides strength for breaking and sampling rock
• Suitable for geology students and professionals conducting field investigations
• Supports hands-on learning in rock identification, sample collection, and field methods
• Ideal for teaching safe and effective geological sampling techniques
• Supports NGSS practices and standards: Science & Engineering Practices (Planning and Carrying Out Investigations); MS-ESS2-1; HS-ESS2-1

The Ward’s Geological Chisel is a durable and reliable tool designed specifically for rock sampling and geological fieldwork. Constructed from hardened steel, the chisel offers exceptional strength and resistance to wear, making it ideal for repeated use in rugged outdoor environments. Its octagonal cutting-edge design provides stability and enhanced impact performance, allowing users to extract rock samples cleanly and efficiently.

This chisel is appropriate for both students beginning their exploration of Earth science and professionals conducting detailed geological investigations. Teachers can incorporate the tool into field-based activities, helping students learn essential skills such as identifying rock types, collecting representative samples, and observing geological features in situ.

The Geological Chisel also supports NGSS-aligned instruction by enabling students to engage directly in scientific inquiry and field investigation practices. Through real world sampling, students gain a deeper understanding of Earth materials, geological processes, and the methods geologists use to gather evidence and construct explanations.

Durable, dependable, and easy to handle, this field instrument is an excellent addition to any Earth science classroom, lab kit, or field investigation set.
