Labs
You have to admit it. Really! What good is a science class without laboratory exercises? Right?
You can teach, talk and worksheet students over and over. But, what lasting, impactful benefit is all of this without hands-on activities or resources? Labs are the core of a science curriculum.
Labs enable students to “see” for themselves science in action; labs are great environments for building curiosity and instilling a love of science. They also are key settings to help students learn the skills of group work and team collaboration.
Yet, you don’t always have the time to organize and set up labs. With the conferences, meetings, grading, lesson plans…you feel swamped. “It would be nice to have something mapped out for me.” Sound familiar?
Check out the lab section of the store. I am sure you’ll find something you can use. And, rest assured, the labs resources include detailed teacher and student instructions. Most It’s Science labs use simple and/or readily available materials. Plus, many are adaptable for virtual AND classroom use!

Teacher Help
Need that little something to add an additional touch to your instruction?
We are all about helping you be the best at doing what you do – teaching. With all of the tasks you face on a given day, the last thing you need to be unprepared.
Let us help you!
Google slide presentations, note colorings, eBooks, and clipart graphics are a few of the ways we can support you in your journey to science excellence.
eBooks
Do you use textbooks or e-texts? Maybe you have transitioned to slide presentations or other forms of presenting material. There are many methods to “get your material across”.
Are you working with students online or at home? In class, do some students roll their eyes when asked to read a passage, chapter or section and answer questions? Perhaps they just don’t understand what they are reading. “I need a simple means of getting this material across to my students”, you repeat for the umpteenth time.
It’s true that breaking these science concepts down is your forte. Yet, even when you explain a concept in a different way for the third time, some still don’t get it. Ever felt that frustrated? I have.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have an electronic text that takes the basic principles of an area and simplifies it? And, wouldn’t it be great if it used pictures/illustrations and simple language to get across the concepts?
The Physical Science Simplified & Illustrated series does just that making it ideal for class, online or home use.
