If you will look at the materials supply page for the Exploratorium's
Snackbook, you will find suppliers for all sorts of things needed in the
classroom. To view it go to:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/publications/Snackbook/resource_guide.html

The Teacher Institute is currently updating this materials list, so watch
the TI Resources pages for future updates.
