Cornerstone's Cycle 2 Base Pack provides durable goods to pass from class to class PLUS consumable materials for one class of 8 students and 1 tutor. See list of items below.
We recommend purchasing one Base Pack for each class that will be conducting experiments at the same time in the same room. So if there are two or three classes working simultaneously, you will need to purchase two or three Base Packs. If your classes are coming in one at a time, then one Base Pack is all you need, with one Consumable Class Pack for each additional class.
Each classroom should be equipped with a Base Pack, and the Consumable Class Pack will replenish materials used during the first class time. To determine how many Base Packs and Consumable Class Packs your community needs, use the following formula:
# of Science Classes Happening Simultaneously | # of Base Packs Needed |
# of Additional Classes Participating | # of Class Packs Needed |
For example, a small community of 24 students who can all share the durable materials will need 1 Base Pack and 2 Consumable Class Packs. A larger community of 40 students with 2 groups doing science at the same time will need 2 Base Packs and 3 Consumable Class Packs.
Example table to determine community purchases:
# of Classes | # of Base Packs | # of Class Packs | Cost per 8 Students |
1 | 1 | 0 | $18.88 |
2 | 1 | 1 | $13.78 |
3 | 1 | 2 | $12.08 |
4 | 2 | 2 | $13.78 |
5 | 2 | 3 | $12.76 |
6 | 2 | 4 | $12.07 |
