A well-equipped student lab station in a well-packaged portable container designed for non-conventional lab situations such as home schooling, or any situation that calls for an uncompromised lab experience with or without the presence of an experienced lab teacher and without the need for a traditional lab facility. Each lab includes step-by-step instructions and enough reagents and equipment to complete the lab five times, allowing for mistakes and testing repeatability. Preparation, safety, and cleanup is easy and convenient. Lab course is based on the Microscale method, which uses about 1/100th of the chemicals a typical lab would consume. Chemical reagents come in dropper bottles and do not require any mixing or further preparation. To aid in lab safety, the kit contains no concentrated acids or bases, and the provided equipment is plastic whenever possible. Kit contains everything needed to perform 30 experiments, with the exception of some common household items. Allow extra delivery time.
30 lab experiments include:
1. Scientific Method
2. Paper Chromatography
3. Collecting Data
4. Atomic Orbital Models
5. Properties of a Group in the Periodic Table

In rural Wisconsin in 1941, Norman Eckley was struggling to prepare his students for future jobs in agriculture. His struggle had nothing to do with his knowledge, experience, or teaching ability. He just couldn’t find the teaching tools he needed to support his lessons — so he decided to create his own.
Norman’s teaching aids brought learning to life in the classroom and offered his students real-world experiences. Working from his garage, he went on to found Nasco Education and share them with teachers everywhere through his mail-order catalogs. Suddenly, those impossible-to-find resources were all in one place at teachers’ fingertips.
This single-minded mission — to empower teachers with hands-on solutions that prepare, engage, and inspire students — is the foundation on which Nasco Education was built.
