Laboratory Experiments and Equipment Offerings
Science in Motion offers a variety of labs, equipment, models and more to help engage students. Get more information on what SIM offers below.
Chemistry
Your students will become detectives as they use forensic evidence to solve a mystery. They鈥檒l take science poolside as they analyze the SPF of sunscreen. These are just two of the ways Science in Motion brings real-world chemistry applications into your classroom. Check out the full list of available chemistry labs to see what else students can do.
Biology
Introduce your students to the world of Microscopy as they explore different types of microscopes. Allow your class to test the 5-Second Rule or extract DNA from a strawberry. These are just a few of the ways Science in Motion brings high-quality biology applications into your classroom. Check out the full list of available biology labs to see all we have to offer.
Physics
Your students will dive into the world of physics as they explore concepts like air resistance, impulse and momentum, and Newton's laws using Vernier software. They'll engage with hands-on experiments to understand these fundamental principles in a practical context. These are just a few examples of how Vernier technology brings real-world physics applications into your classroom. Check out the full list of available experiments to see what else students can discover.
Middle School
Your students will explore a range of scientific disciplines through labs designed specifically for middle school learners. They鈥檒l dive into biology, chemistry, and physics with engaging, age-appropriate experiments. These are just a few examples of how tailored science labs can make complex concepts accessible and exciting for young scientists. Check out the full list of available labs to see what else your students can explore.
Equipment
Science in Motion labs often use equipment not typically found in middle and high school science departments. We can bring the equipment to you at no cost to your district.
