Educational Classroom Kits and Activities
Let us help you to identify activity kits to meet your specific Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) needs! Our hands-on kits have been developed by expert scientists and educators to incorporate cross cutting concepts, science and engineering practices and disciplinary core ideas. The activities, designed to provide students with a complete understanding of science as they progress through grade levels, are easily introduced into Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering lessons.
