Kit Inventory
The Lifting Heavy Things kit comes with everything you need to help students begin to discover the power of simple machines in your classroom. Insights provides most of the necessary items and for participating districts, Science to Go adds the additional items teachers may not have on hand and does some of the preparatory work that they might not have time for. Soon you will be able to click on each item to see a description and photo of it, including ideas on where to purchase them if you are not one of Science to Go's participating schools (we will include Kendall-Hunt's stock numbers where applicable).

Basic Kit

The notation on whether or not an item is consumable refers to the use of the kit under the Science to Go! program. This may differ from Kendall Hunt’s listing or from that of your resource center.
