Certified OpenSciEd Materials
Grades K-12
OpenSciEd Science Kits,
Ready for Every Investigation
Activate Learning's certified OpenSciEd kits come with the materials for every investigation in every published OpenSciEd K–12 unit. Materials are sorted by lesson, some are already prepped, and the kits are in stock and ready to ship. Teachers can spend their time teaching instead of shopping, cutting and counting.
Activate Learning sells certified OpenSciEd science kits for kindergarten through high school. Each unit kit contains the materials for every investigation in that unit. Materials are packed in labeled lesson bags inside stackable totes. Each kit also includes access to the Kit Companion®, which has setup videos, activity guides and Safety Data Sheets. Districts can buy kits on their own or bundled with OpenSciEd print, digital and professional learning.

Why Teachers and Districts Choose Activate Learning OpenSciEd Kits
-
Certified for OpenSciEd, so every investigation works.
Every component is certified for OpenSciEd and tested by Activate Learning for safety and quality. Kits contain the materials for every investigation in every published unit, including demos and student activities. Teachers never have to swap in a substitute that changes the results.
-
Organized by lesson, so setup takes minutes.
Materials arrive in labeled lesson bags that match the unit sequence. Teachers grab the bag for today's lesson and go. They don't have to hunt through a supply closet or check a 12-page materials list.
-
Teacher-ready prep, done for you.
Many items arrive pre-cut, pre-assembled or laminated. Examples include balance support stands and pinhole boxes (elementary), pre-cut light boxes and painted cups (middle school), and prepped game boards (high school). That saves hours of after-school cutting, printing and laminating every unit.
-
Kit Companion®: setup help in one scan.
Scan the QR code on any kit tote to open the Kit Companion. It has the picture-based packing slip, assembly and activity guides, Safety Data Sheets, and setup videos. New teachers and substitutes can get a lab ready with confidence.
-
Built to last: stackable, spill-proof totes.
Kits ship in protective, reusable totes that stack neatly on a shelf or cart. Materials stay organized from unit to unit and from year to year.
-
In stock, ships fast.
We keep OpenSciEd kit inventory in stock, so classrooms aren't waiting on back-ordered supplies at the start of a unit.
-
Easy reorders and refills.
You can reorder individual components or consumable refills without buying a whole new kit. That keeps the kit complete and the per-year cost low.
-
Real people when you need help.
Our team answers questions about kits, materials and lesson setup. Teachers get support from people who know OpenSciEd, not a general call center.
