Purchasing Guidance

How many should I order?  

We recommend purchasing one Base Kit for each of the first classes doing science simultaneously in your community. Next, purchase as many Class Packs (LINK) as you have additional science classes that will follow afterward.

  • Number of classes starting the day = number of Base Kits

  • Number of additional classes = number of Class Packs

Examples:
A community with 24 students where one class begins science first and two follow later will need one Base Kit and two Class Packs.

A community with 48 students where two classes begin science simultaneously and four follow later will need two Base Kits and four Class Packs.
