Carolina’s 3D program is comprehensive, providing everything a new teacher or an experienced practitioner would want to have. All of the materials are provided and the teacher manuals and digital tools are phenomena-based, helping students engage more fully. I recommend Carolina 3D to schools that are looking for a robust, set of hands-on labs aligned with national and state standards.

The Carolina Kits 3D® Catalog

Check out the newly revised catalog. We call it the “3D primer” because it includes not only kits but sections on “Why 3D Instruction,” correlations to NGSS and non-NGSS state standards, pacing guides, and much more about how your teachers can learn three-dimensional teaching skills.
