Lab Kit for use with Abeka Science Grade 9

Contains materials for completing the labs 1-36 in the Abeka Science: Matter and Energy (Grade 9, 1st 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.

Some colors of products may vary from the photo shown (such as clay, food coloring, 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: 

This kit contains regulated chemicals and only ships Economy or Ground to a street address in the contiguous 48 US states. This product cannot be returned. 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.

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.
