Diverse Content, Resources, and Products 

Carolina Biological is teamed with teachers and continually provides valuable resources–articles, activities, and how-to videos–to help teachers in their classroom. Since 1938, a company newsletter, Carolina Tips®, has provided free valuable information to help millions of educators and scientists around the world stay current on subjects from acid rain to zymosis.

Everything you need for science education–including living organisms, preserved specimens, anatomical models, laboratory chemicals and equipment, microscopes, prepared microscope slides, and more–can be purchased directly from Carolina. We specialize in serving the traditional K-12/college classroom and lab. We also provide 3D Learning classroom kits, K-8 curriculum programs (Smithsonian’s Science Programs and Building Blocks of Science), and Distance Learning programs for colleges.

Innovation for the Future

Carolina Biological is not content to rest on its past. The spirit of innovation and the excitement of developing new tools for educators are as alive and flourishing today as they were on the day Dr. Powell put his dream into action. Our staff continue to lead the industry as they work with classroom educators to find out what is needed now and will be needed in the future, and then make those ideas a reality for thousands of other teachers.
