Category Description for Complete Introduction to Biology Lab Kits
These impressive kits introduce the basics of biology without a textbook! Guided by the detailed full-color manual (38-58 pgs.) young scientists will discover essential topics through hands-on activities and experiments. These guides are quite helpful as they introduce and explain the topics being studied, provide step-by step instructions to the activities followed by related questions and exercises, and offer a “what happened” explanation after the activity. While there is space to answer questions, Middle school students may benefit from creating a student notebook. Dissections are included. Along with the guide, each kit includes most supplies to complete the activities. A few household items are required.
