Our Suitcase Science Kits
Metamorphosis and Life Cycle Sequencing
Grades K-3
This suitcase offers a variety of activities and games focusing on the life cycle sequence of terrestrial and marine animals. Metamorphosis is a key concept highlighted in this kit using the classic example of the caterpillar turning into the Monarch butterfly.
Science SOLs: K.1, K.4, K.6, K.7, K.9, K.10, 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 3.1, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.10
Properties of Water, the Water Cycle, and Water Conservation
Grades K-4
Students explore and play with water to learn about one of Earth's important resources. Hands-on water activities and supplies are provided in this kit. Topics that are covered include the three states of water, the hydrological cycle, and water conservation.
Science SOLs: K.1, K.2, K.4, K.5, K.9, K.10, K.11, 1.1, 1.3, 1.8, 2.1, 2.3, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.3, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 4.1, 4.6, 4.9
Animal Adaptations for Feeding and Defense
Grades 1-6
Peer through the microscope at plants, animals, and cells already provided for you and your students. This extensive resource allows hands-on learning using our real animal biofacts, animal adaptation games, books to read and films to watch.
Science SOLs: 1.1, 1.5, 1.7, 1.8, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.10, 4.1, 4.5, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6, 6.1, 6.7
Predator-Prey Relationships, Food Webs, and Feeding Adaptations
Grades 1-5
Explore replicated predator skulls to discover their physical adaptations for hunting and feeding. Get tangled in a marine or terrestrial food web, play a fun food web card game, and use animal models to go in depth with feeding adaptations.
Science SOLs: 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.10, 3.11, 4.1, 4.5, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6
Sea Turtle Life History, Research, and Conservation Issues
Grades K-12
Explore sea turtles in this dynamic suitcase filled with lessons on anatomy, habitats, food webs, life cycles, and conservation. Students will touch a sea turtle shell, observe feeding adaptations with replica skulls and play the role of a scientist while performing a mock stranding response and stomach content analysis.
Science SOLs: K.1, K.4, K.6-7, K.10-11, 1.1, 1.5, 1.8, 2.1, 2.4-5, 3.1, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.10, 4.1, 4.5, 4.9, 5.1, 5.5, 5.6, 6.1, 6.7, LS.1, LS.4, LS.6, LS.8-11, BIO.1, BIO.6-8, ES.1, PS.1, PS.7
Weather and Climate Systems, Impacts and Solutions for a Changing Climate
Grades 4-12
Students will build foundational knowledge on how the climate system works and the role carbon plays. They will explore ways a changing climate is impacting Earth and what steps they can take to adapt to those changes.
Science SOLs: 4.1-2, 4.6, 4.8-9, 5.1, 5.6, 6.1-3, 6.5-6, 6.8, LS.1, LS.5-6, LS.9-11, BIO.8, CH.1, CH.3, CH.4, CH.6, ES.1, ES.6, ES.10-12, PS.1, PS.5-7, PS.11, PH.1, PH.4, PH. 6-7
