The Apprentice's Companion to General Biology Lab Kit

This kit is designed around The Apprentice's Companion to General Biology by Novare. It contains the hard to find items like test tubes, stopper, Nutrient Agar, and pipets required to complete the designed experiments. 

Novare approved kit!

To have a complete curriculum experience purchase these supplemental kits:

• To complete the microscope portion of the curriculum, purchase the Microscope Kit for all the slides and chemicals. Microscope is not included. We recommend the Home LED Microscope or the Home 1000x LED Microscope.

If you want additional experience with the microscope activities, try purchasing our Elodea (Anacharis) live culture and Protozoa Mixture live culture. These are live materials and should be purchased close to the use date. Note: these items must be purchased separately.

If you do not have a digital platform scale from a previous Novare curriculum, here are the approved scales:

• Digital Platform Scale, 300 g x 0.01 g
• Digital Platform Scale, 3000 g x 0.1 g

Need a hot plate? This Electric Hot Plate is approved for use with this curriculum. You can also you a stove top to complete the activities.

Activity 10 also recommends a ring stand or ring support that is not included in this kit. This Support Stand and Ring Support are recommended but not required to complete this activity.

For Activity 34, purchasing 0.01M Sulfuric Acid is recommended for best results. Options are provided in the textbook.
