Things to determine before you reserve a science kit.

2.      What science kit is associated with the specific unit of study?  See the overview on the grade level science web pages.

When you receive your kit from the SRC

1.      Please inventory the contents to make sure that nothing is missing or broken.  These are new kits so this could occur.  Please email Jerry Martinez if you receive a kit that contains missing or broken items.

When you return your kit to the SRC

When returning kits:  Remember that sharing is caring.  We are all sharing the science kits so please return them in an appropriate manner.  Please double check to make sure that the inventory is complete, teacher manuals are complete and not missing pages and all materials are closed and sealed before returning. 

1.      Please carefully put items away, in an organized fashion before returning.  Leaving bags of sand open or caps unscrewed affects the next teacher that gets the kit.  Please make sure and take care of the supplies.  We will be contacting you if materials are not returned in an appropriate manner. This seriously affects the transition time and refurbishing time, which in turn can affect the next teacher.

2.      Please make sure that you complete a final inventory of the kit.  This includes not only the kit materials but the teacher’s manual and any trade books that are delivered with the kit.

3.      Please check to make sure that the teacher’s manual is complete and pages are not missing.  You will be contacted to find and return the missing pages.  It is critical that kits are taken care of and items, especially the teacher’s manuals, are ready to go for the next teacher.

4.      Please return your kit to your school sites designated pick up place on or before your due date.  We will not be accepting late kits this year.
