What age ranges or grade levels are your products and curricula designed for?
Hands on science lends itself to a wide range of ages. Meaning that many of our kits, curriculum, and STEAM products will work for all of your children. We do provide a recommended age ranges on each product page. Our science kits are designed to work for all learners. They include beginner activities for those just starting and advanced challenges for students who are ready for more complex experiments. This means the same kit can be used to introduce a concept early in school and then revisit it later with deeper, more challenging tasks as students grow and learn.
Are all of the materials included?
We try to provide all of the materials you will need in each of our kits – from measuring utensils to experiment materials.
What science subjects or topics do your toys and curriculum cover?
We cover a variety of topics including chemistry, coding, biology, and physics.
How do your products integrate play with learning?
They combine hands-on experiments with fun activities so that learning feels like play.
What microscope do you recommend my family purchase?
We really love all of our microscopes and are always excited to send them out! We provide teaching labs with all of our microscopes that guide and teach your child to use them in a fun and easy way.
For younger children 3+ we recommend our LCD Digital Microscope. This is easy for young hands to use and with less parts to confuse and worry about. This microscope comes with a fun activity pack and looks at 3D objects like bugs, plants and feathers in amazing detail. It does not work with slides.
At 4th-5th grade through high school we recommend purchasing or transitioning to our Compound Digital Microscope. Including an even better activity pack plus a starter box of slides this microscope will work with slides AND 3D objects. The zoom is incredible and we love the amazing detail you will see with this microscope.
Looking for a traditional microscope? We sourced and specially designed the EPS 1600. It is s powerful microscope good enough for a college and professional environment but easy enough for your child to use.
Are your curricula aligned with national or state educational standards?
Yes, our curriculum is designed to meet current educational standards.
How do your products support STEM education?
Our products promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in STEM fields
What learning outcomes can users expect from your products?
Users gain practical science skills and a deeper understanding of key concepts.
Can your science kits be used more than once or by multiple children?
All of our science project kits can be repeated at least 4 times. If using lab partners, this means that eight children can share each kit. Our Biology-Dissection boxes provide enough materials for lab activities to be completed once. A sibling box can be purchased alongside the Biology-Dissection boxes.
How do I set up or use my purchase?
Each kit comes with simple, step-by-step instructions and guides for a quick and easy setup and start. We want your child to excitedly open each box and begin learning right away without any obstacles!
Can I use your materials as my curriculum or integrate these materials into my existing curriculum?
Our resources can often be your entire curriculum. Our biology and chemistry bundles and kits all contain curriculum. Our Biology-Dissection Boxes contain full sets of curriculum printed for you. Many of our bundles can be used as curriculum or to enrich what you are already doing. Our products are flexible and designed to easily blend with be your curriculum.
