Biology and Life Science Kits

BK01 Home School Biology Kit ($185)

The BK01 kit is the companion kit for our book, Illustrated Guide to Home Biology Experiments: All Lab, No Lecture. Other than a microscope, prepared slides, and live specimens, the BK01 kit includes all of the special equipment and materials you need for the lab component of a complete first-year honors high school biology course. The BK01 kit also includes a supplemental DVD with the PDF answer guide for the review questions that appear at the end of each lab session in the book and high-resolution electronic copies of all of the images used in the book.

For a simpler and less expensive alternative, see the LK01 kit below.



LK01 Home School Biology/Life Science Kit ($128)

Other than a microscope, live specimens that can be collected from any nearby park or pond, and some common household materials, the LK01 kit provides the specialty equipment and materials you need to complete a full year of experiments and investigations as the laboratory component of any standard 7th- or 8th-grade life science course.

As a simplified and less expensive version of the BK01 Biology Kit, the LK01 kit can also be used with students who will not major in college in science to provide the lab component of a standard high school biology course that fulfills the requirements for a high school lab science credit. The LK01 kit includes the BK01 supplemental DVD, with the answer guide and high-resolution images that can be used to minimize the need for expensive prepared slides.

We designed the LK01 kit around the freely-downloadable CK-12 Life Science course, but the kit is also well-suited for use with other religious and secular life science curricula, including those from A Beka, Apologia, Bob Jones University Press, and many others, as well as with Illustrated Guide to Home Biology Experiments.



Chemistry Kits

CK01A Home School Honors Chemistry Kit ($168/$173)

The CK01A kit includes all of the special equipment and materials you need for the lab component of a complete first-year high school honors chemistry course. The included PDF manual provides 39 lab sessions in 14 topic areas, including separating mixtures, solubility and solutions, chemical reactions and stoichiometry, reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions, acid-base chemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, gas chemistry, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry, colloids and suspensions, analytical chemistry, and synthetic organic chemistry.

For a simpler and less expensive alternative, see the CK01B kit below.



CK01B Home School Standard Chemistry Kit ($128)

The CK01B kit is a simplified and less expensive version of the CK01A Chemistry Kit, designed to provide the special equipment and materials you need for the lab component of a complete first-year high school standard chemistry course. The included PDF manual provides 31 lab sessions in 13 topic areas, including separating mixtures, solubility and solutions, chemical reactions and stoichiometry, reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions, acid-base chemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, gas chemistry, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry, colloids and suspensions, and analytical chemistry. 



Forensic Science Kits

FK01 Home School Forensic Science Kits

FK01-series kits are the companion kits for our book, Illustrated Guide to Home Forensic Science Experiments: All Lab, No Lecture.

FK01A Core Forensic Science Kit

The FK01A Core Forensic Science Kit ($165) includes specialized equipment, chemicals, and specimens needed to complete the more than two dozen lab sessions in the first six groups in the book:

        - Group I: Soil Analysis
        - Group II: Hair and Fiber Analysis
        - Group III: Glass and Plastic Analysis
        - Group IV: Revealing Latent Fingerprints
        - Group V: Detecting Blood
        - Group VI: Impression Analysis

For many homeschoolers, the lab sessions covered by the FK01A Kit will more than suffice for a full year's worth of lab work for a high-school forensic science course. If you need more lab work, we also offer two supplemental kits, both of which require the materials in the FK01A Kit.

FK01B Forensic Science Kit Supplement 1

The FK01B Forensic Science Kit Supplement 1 ($51) requires the equipment and chemicals included in the Core kit. It provides the additional specialized chemicals and specimens to complete the seven lab sessions in the following groups:

        - Group VII: Forensic Drug Testing
        - Group VIII: Forensic Toxicology

FK01B Forensic Science Kit Supplement 2

The FK01B Forensic Science Kit Supplement 2 ($79) requires the equipment and chemicals included in the Core kit. It provides the additional specialized chemicals and specimens to complete the seven lab sessions in the following groups::

        - Group IX: Gunshot and Explosive Residues Analysis
        - Group X: Detecting Altered and Forged Documents
        - Group XI: Forensic Biology
