Where Lab-Aids® got its start
Lab-Aids started producing kits over 60 years ago in an effort to provide teachers with everything needed for thoughtful, hands-on activities to approach difficult concepts.
Kits are a cost-effective way to teach content that is abstract, rife with misconceptions, or not inherently engaging. These hands-on labs will energize your classroom.
60 years
Lab-Aids has exclusively developed instructional materials for secondary science.
Teacher Support
All kits include comprehensive teacher guidance to fully support the kit activity.
1-3 Activities
The number of activities varies per kit, but is generally between 1-3. More than that and it's considered a Module.
What you get
A teacher's guide, student sheets with procedures and formative assessments, and equipment all come organized in a single box.
Kits are perfect for
Educators looking to bring life to a single concept and/or fill in gaps where their current curriculum is lacking to meet all their standards will find the perfect match in one of our hundreds of options.
Ongoing support
Curriculum specialists and a team of product managers are always here to help with any questions.
A targeted, cost-effective way to have students engage in science and engineering practices and encourage student-led discussion around a specific real-life issue.
Issues are carefully selected to provide student motivation and context for the science content. Each issue must be engaging to diverse students, be sustainable over time, and require an understanding of important concepts and processes in order to make evidence based decisions.

Mix and match units for a custom sequence.
Unit books and equipment packages make it easier to customize a program based on your state standards and a recommended scope and sequence.
For some districts the full-year programs by discipline are more appropriate while for others a coordinated program across the disciplines is a better fit.
