High School 3-Dimensional Learning with Carolina
Carolina Kits | 3D FLEX is a new product line to help high schools provide high-quality, hands-on science instruction. The solution includes all of the digital and physical components that individual students need to complete science investigations for the entire school year from anywhere, boxed and ready to take home. Carolina Kits | 3D FLEX programs for remote learning are a full-year lab program for either high school biology or chemistry, intended to complement the classroom teacher’s curriculum and instruction. The FLEX product is a box of hands-on supplies that contains everything a student needs to complete take-home science labs and assignments from their teachers to perform 16 different science investigations. The program includes access to over 120 digital resources, including instructional videos and digital labs.
Carolina Kits 3D are high school investigations for life science, physics and chemistry labs, built from the ground up to engage students in scientific and engineering practices while they apply core ideas and crosscutting concepts. Each kit provides students with experiences that are key to thriving with the NGSS and phenomena-based learning. Each kit includes printed teacher’s manual, reproducible student guide, materials for the labs for a classroom of 45 students, and one-year access to digital resources that support three-dimensional instruction for NGSS.
