Category Description for Complete Introdution to Earth and Space Lab Kits
These impressive kits introduce the basics of earth and space science without a textbook! Guided by the detailed full-color manual (46-50 pgs.), students will discover essential topics through hands-on activities and experiments. These guides are quite helpful as they introduce and explain the topics being studied, give step-by step instructions to the activities, ask related questions to analyze results, and provide a “what happened” explanation after the activity. While there is space to answer questions, middle school students may benefit from creating a student notebook. A Sketch Notebook is included in the Grade 9+ Kit. Along with the guide, each kit includes most supplies to complete the activities. A few household items are required.
