Middle school is a great opportunity to get students excited about science. The Life Science kit, available for the fall 2008 semester, has been developed to enrich students' growing understanding of the diversity of life and to encourage them to draw parallels with other subjects, such as renewable resources. The series includes labs on the scientific method, the basis of life, the kingdoms of life and environmental science. This series provides the fundamental skills and knowledge students need to meet and exceed their states' 8th grade science standards.
Note: The lab on Evolution is optional. Please contact eScience Labs at 888.375.5487 if you wish to receive this kit without the Evolution lab included.
INCLUDES DIGITAL LAB MANUAL
Every kit purchase includes access to our online content designed to supplement the hands on experiments, provide pre-lab exercises and re-enforce important concepts. Registered users also have access to a monitored blog where they can compare results, pool data and communicate with other students. Volume and institutional discounts available.
