Great Complete Kit
This kit is really well organized and contains everything we need for Biology. It is nice to have everything in one place, since it is difficult to get individual samples for the homeschool biology lab. I would recommend this kit highly.

5 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Science Shepard recommends this product as it has everything we will need for biology lab.

I am homeschooling my granddaughter who has plans to continue education in science and wanted to give her a background in biology that included a real experience in the lab.

Science Shepherd

We are doing the Science Shepherd Biology course

Can I get a detailed list of what this bundle includes? I was looking at another dissection kit and it costs 3x less, trying to figure out why.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0268/0319/files/BiologyLabKitContents.pdf?5365518774778212373

I found this list on the Science Shepherd website.

Does this include everything for all 20 labs? thanks.

It does not include a microscope. You will need a microscope for some of the labs, and we also purchased the lab videos, which are very helpful in walking through the labs. I think it has everything else.
There might have been some plant labs where you need to buy vegetables from the store, but I can't remember if that was for this biology lab.

Do the specimens have an expiration date?

Leave specimens in shipping bags/containers until use. As long as the original container seal is unbroken, specimens will remain usable indefinitely. If the seal on the specimen bag has been broken, the shelf life is affected only slightly. Just close the bag with a rubber band or some other type of closure. Keep tightly sealed. Exposure to air will not cause decay, but specimens will gradually dry out. Between classroom sessions, return specimens to tightly closed plastic bag or airtight container. Do NOT use water or formaldehyde to remoisten.

Does this set include the slides and stains?

I have found this kit to have everything needed for the Science Shepherd Biology course. I added the dissect kit for the labs. IT is a great kit. I would definitely recommend this kit. It is very well put together
