Years in Partnership
Research-Based
Using evidence to make conclusions in not just something we teach. It's something we do.
NGSS Experts
New standards are always based on educational research - and that's exactly what our partners do.
SEPUP
Science Education for Public Understanding Program (SEPUP) curricula are based on a guided-inquiry approach and promote the use of scientific principles, processes, and evidence in public decision making.
SEPUP is part of the University of California, Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science.
EDC Oceans of Data Institute
EDC Earth Science is designed around the belief that students are capable of rigorous and in-depth explorations in science when given adequate support, structure, and motivation for learning.
EDC Earth Science is an initiative between the Oceans of Data Institute and the Learning and Teaching Division at the Education Development Center (EDC).
Natural Approach to Chemistry
A Natural Approach to Chemistry was developed by a team of innovators, professors and teachers who felt chemistry instruction needed examples in order to make connections with students, it must be experienced at an appropriate level, and it must be personally relevant.
Students need the opportunity to do chemistry and to develop an experimentally-validated understanding of each key concept.
Partners in Agriscience Education
National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador Academy
We are proud of our 13 year partnership with DuPont, the National Association of Agricultural Educators and the National FFA Foundation that supports it. Lab-Aids® was the 2010 DuPont Education Partner of the Year - primarily for our long-standing role as a curriculum partner and our initial role in program and workshop design.
What's the big Deal?
Research-based curricula is built on rigorous research in content, cognitive development, and educational best-practice. These programs require ongoing evaluation for efficacy in student understanding and, in our case, are linked to highly regarded institutions that also have a stake in maintaining their reputation of excellence.
