In
1963, LAB-AIDS was founded based on a unique and exciting idea
at the time – helping science teachers to prepare a more
meaningful "hands-on" experience in the classroom. The idea was
based on the belief that a complete lab activity could be
packaged at an economical "cost per student," and that these
"packages" would save teachers hours of lab preparation time.
Hence, the first "Lab-Aid" was born. It was the first true "kit"
in the science education market. The word "kit" was not
initially used to describe our packages. At the time, the word
meant nothing more than a box of assorted items with few or no
directions for usage. Since then, LAB-AIDS has revolutionized
the concept of a "kit" by not only making it acceptable, but
also popular among science educators. A lot has changed since
1963, but what hasn't, is that LAB-AIDS products continue to
provide the best overall value in terms of time and cost savings
to teachers.
WHAT MAKES LAB-AIDS® PRODUCTS
BETTER?
Materials
All kits come with enough material for a single class. Most kits
are 100% complete. Extra time in the prep room or the storage
room gathering additional products isn't necessary. Refills can
be purchased individually or as part of a consumable refill
package. Molded plastic trays are utilized for the effective
storage and organization of the package components.
Teacher Guides
All kits include a complete teacher’s guide. The guides include
a Content List, Important Background Information, Detailed
Procedure Information, Answer/Results Key and . MSDS when
required. Whether you're a first year teacher or a science
mentor, the information provided in these guides will prove to
be invaluable.
Student Worksheets
A pad of student worksheets for an entire class is also
included. The worksheets provide directions for students, ask
key questions and allow plenty of room for students to write
their observations. Worksheets are black and white, which allows
for easy reproduction if necessary.
National Standards
Applied Science Concept packages each correlate to several
National Science Standards. This allows you to use the packages
to fill any content gaps in your district's science curriculum.
SEPUP MODULES
SEPUP Modules are self contained instructional units which take between 2 - 6 weeks to complete. The modules
typically deal with a specific topic area such as pollution, energy, waste and household chemicals. The materials
package that accompanies each module includes enough material for 5 classes of 32 students (160 total students).
Also included is a comprehensive teacher's guide with black-line master student sheets and overhead transparencies.
