DESCRIPTION
The Starter Lab Kit for Real Science-4-Kids Focus on Middle School Biology contains the harder-to-find items for completing labs 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 13 in the Focus On Middle School Biology curriculum, 3rd edition. Use this kit with the Student Lab Workbook, Student Textbook & Teacher's Manual for a complete hands-on experience!
This kit is an excellent option for students in grades 5-8 looking to complete a variety of the Middle School Biology labs at a great value - without spending extra to conduct all of the experiments.
The lab activities within labs 2, 7, 14, 15 & 16 can be completed by purchasing additional materials. Additional materials, not included in this kit, include both live materials (which need to be used within 2 days of arrival) and preserved specimens (which can be used for labs 14A, 15A & 16A). Additionally, other materials can be purchased if your child wishes to complete alternative labs 14B, 15B and 16B. All of these additional items can be found listed in the 'Contents' tab and/or on the order form.
Compared to our Lab Kit for Focus On Middle School Science Set, this kit is specific to Biology and contains additional items to improve your experience. Use the hand-selected items in this kit to make many of the Workbook's Biology labs easier to conduct, and to make your household items/shopping list shorter.
Note: Real Science For Kids Level 1 has a new name and a new look! While you'll enjoy the same easy-to-teach and fun-to-learn curriculum as before, now it's called Focus On Middle School and is intended for grades 5-8.
