Carolina Kits 3D® is a full-year lab program designed by educators to engage students in scientific and engineering practices while applying core ideas and crosscutting concepts.
We have put together bundle packages that make it easy to supply your schools with a comprehensive program for life science, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space science.
Engage students in scientific and engineering practices while applying core ideas and crosscutting concepts—experiences that are key to thriving with the NGSS and phenomena-based learning.
Built from the ground up to engage high school students in scientific and engineering practices while they apply core ideas and crosscutting concepts—experiences that are key to thriving with the NGSS and phenomena-based learning.
Carolina Kits 3D Bundles for life science, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics are available in multiple options to suit your existing, emergent, or new lab program. Hands-on labs plus digital resources across all major instructional segments help your students think like scientists and build understanding of core concepts.
Built to support 3-dimensional instruction for high school life science, these lab programs allow students to explore topics across all core concept areas. Each Carolina Kits 3D Life Science Bundle includes digital resources and hands-on materials for a class of 32 students and includes investigations in From Molecules to Organisms, Ecosystems, Heredity, and Biological Evolution.
Built to support 3-dimensional instruction for high school chemistry, these lab programs allow students to explore topics across all core concept areas. Each Carolina Kits 3D Chemistry Bundle includes digital resources and hands-on materials for a class of 32 students and includes investigations from Structure and Properties of Matter, Chemical and Nuclear Reactions, and Energy in Chemical Processes.
Built to support 3-dimensional instruction for high school Earth and space science, these lab programs allow students to explore topics across all core concept areas. Each Carolina Kits 3D Earth and Space Science Bundle includes digital resources and hands-on materials for a class of 32 students and includes investigations from Space Systems, History of Earth, Earth’s Systems, Weather and Climate, and Human Sustainability.
Built to support 3-dimensional instruction for high school physics, these lab programs allow students to explore topics across all core concept areas. Each Carolina Kits 3D Physics Bundle includes digital resources and hands-on materials for a class of 32 students and includes investigations in Forces and Motion, Types of Interactions, Energy and Waves, and Electromagnetic Radiation.
Each investigation is built from the ground up to engage students in scientific and engineering practices while they apply core ideas and crosscutting concepts.
The Carolina Kits 3D program is available in bundles of 4 to 30 labs, suitable for any school or district budget.
Each version contains the digital resources and hands-on materials (excluding common classroom items) for a class of 32.
Comprehensive lab programs make it easy and cost-effective to plan, buy, and implement. Our in-house experts provide quality products and support you can count on.
Explore our kit correlations by state standards, common textbooks, national programs, and more.
Digital bundles allow you to review all the labs in the set and choose which ones work best in your classroom.
Each Digital Resource Bundle provides 1-year access for the teacher and 45 students to a yearlong set of labs that builds toward NGSS performance expectations. Purchase additional licenses for multiple classrooms or more than 45 students. The bundles contain time-saving digital resources (no physical materials) for hands-on labs that use phenomena to support NGSS and three-dimensional instruction. Each bundle contains:
Finally, you can have a three-dimensional lab program correlated with NGSS, NGSS-aligned, and non-NGSS standards—easy to use with any core science textbook (ask us to show you).
Get access to our online platform designed to support Carolina's hands-on labs and science curricula, complete with pre- and post-assessment tools, teacher manuals, videos, and lab activities.

Carolina delivers hands-on science, 3D kits and materials that are of the highest quality. During the last three years, I’ve enjoyed using Carolina Kits 3D and my students have responded well during our labs because they are the sense makers, not passively waiting for me.

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.
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.
