Bring the natural world back to your classroom with Lindsay Wildlife’s Discovery Kit rentals.

Discovery Kits use real museum specimens in hands-on activities to engage your students. Each kit’s lesson plan includes background information on the topic and three engaging activities that utilize observation, experimentation, and critical thinking. All lesson plans utilize grade-specific Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to satisfy specific learning objectives. The kits are described in the table below and organized by grade level.

Classroom not required! These kits fit a variety of needs, such as: homeschool, science fairs, and courses outside of the sciences like art and social studies.
