Lab Kit for use with Abeka Science Grade 7

This kit contains materials for "Check It Out" and "Science Investigations" in the Abeka Science: Order & Design (Grade 7, 2nd edition). NEW AND IMPROVED APRIL 2022. These kits have been re-designed with the homeschooler in mind. This kit is intended for parent use for homeschool or small student group. Additional materials may need to be purchased for labs with multiple groups of students in a classroom or completing multiples of the same labs. It includes items that are not designed or intended for children ages 12 and under. Some colors of products may vary from the photo shown (such as clay, food coloring, balloons, etc) or products may vary with different suppliers, but be rest assured that product substitutions are evaluated as a replacement in-kind and to provide the same learning experience.

Note: A substitute material may be suggested for some labs, please refer to the kit order form and the "Curriculum Reference and Comments" section for additional information on materials and designed use. Keep materials after each activity as some are intended to be re-used throughout the year (that includes cups, string, clay, etc). Some labs may be performed sequentially to reduce the number of materials needed to complete the lab.

We understand this will extend the lab time; however, this strategy allows us to keep the kit price reasonable. Glassware has been provided so that home or kitchen glassware does not need to be used with chemicals.

This kit contains materials in order to cover the entire curriculum (one year). As a result they are large, and we suggest that you remove all the items from the box in preparation for the school year and each activity. There are multiple activities that suggest live materials, which will need to be purchased at time of the activity. Please note that these live materials have a restricted shipping to US48. For 10.1, pill bugs. For 10.3 Planaria. For 11.1 Elodea. We also recommend the Home LED Microscope for activities in Chapter 11 and viewing the provided slides with more detail.

WARNING: This product can expose you to Silica and Crystalline which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
