This kit is ideal for students in grades 2 through 7.

Guided Learning
With the help of Dr. Enrique Gomez, Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Western Carolina University, we have four instructional videos in Spanish on our YouTube. We recommend this resource for bilingual students; students who have the ability to read closed captioning; or if an adult is helping a student use the kit.
Click on each individual image below to view Spanish-language instruction videos on how to use the kit activities.
If you are an educator or ordering a large number of kits, please conact Jonathan Frederick at jfred@email.unc.edu.
