Science Education Lending Library. Pedagogical support & amazing labs, delivered to your classroom
We are a novel resource and knowledge sharing platform for New York City’s science teachers.
In collaboration with scientists and educators, we make it easy for teachers to implement exciting hands on modules that bring science to life for their students.
We’ll come to your class with a suitcase, teach it once for you, co-teach it once with you, and then leave the suitcase for you to use with your other classes. You can borrow the suitcase every year after that!
Available ScienceSuitcases (click here for descriptions)
Biology of COVID-19 8th-12th grade
Yeast Art and Genomics (YAAG) 4th-12th grade
ABC’s of DNA: Properties, structure, and gel electrophoresis of DNA 7-12th grade
Experiments with Enzyme Action 7-12th grade
Send us an email to: info (at) sciencesuitcase.org
Please include: your name, school, grades teaching, subject, number of sections, and date range that would work for you. Module can be for a single or double science class. We will bring the suitcase on a day you have at least 2 separate groups of students/classes that will be using the suitcase.
Our services and equipment are currently offered free to schools with over 50% free lunch. Small fee for others.
If you are a teacher and have an idea for a lab you’d love to use in your classroom if you could get your hands on the materials and equipment and some help setting it up, let us know- we just might add it to our list!
Calling all scientist, labs, departments, teachers, educators, institutions, non-profits, volunteers, and companies. If you already have a science kit built and want us to help you optimize it and share it please reach out to us.
Please let us know your thoughts big and small!!! email us: info (at) sciencesuitcase.org
