My Project

I have high school students who perform on the 1st—6th grade level. They really enjoy hands-on lessons at a level that they can comprehend. They like to analyze when working together. I truly need kits to help them continue to stay involved in science.

Lab kits are great for encouraging students to work in pairs or groups.

They are also a great way to encourage data gathering and results. Record keeping and predicting outcomes are also strengthened by the use of science kits. Kits spark a deep interest and help students retain information.
