Since SmartLab's passion is teaching about science, it has now set its sights on creating supplemental educational materials for the classroom and afterschool programs. This year, SmartLab is releasing two hands-on curriculum-based kits: Crimes and Clues and Dinosaur Hunt. The kits are designed for grades 2 to 6 and correlate with Next Generation Science and Common Core standards.

• In Crimes and Clues, kids use investigative and deductive reasoning skills to solve the crime of the kidnapped border collies! The lessons supplement physical science and measurement curriculums.
• In Dinosaur Hunt, students participate in a virtual dinosaur dig and put together a T. rex skeleton. Dinosaur Hunt features inquiry-based science and supplements fossil or dinosaur curriculums.

Each kit contains five one-hour lessons, with no prep time needed. Everything you need is included: lesson plans, AV materials, student resource books, license free software, reproducibles and more.
