We’re very excited to share with you our new line of kits. They were originally designed to support the New Mexico Science Standards and Benchmarks, but we have redesigned them with national standards in mind. These kits have been created to raise the bar for science kits. No other kits are so easy to use and combine hands on activities with real content.

As you may know, the Center is a non-profit corporation founded and run by teachers. Since 1991, we have provided award winning curriculum to schools and programs all over the world.

Journey into Science kits are a result of years of working with teachers, scientists, museums, and students. They were designed to help teachers meet all the Science Standards while providing their students with a meaningful and exciting science experience.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Journey into Science. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-894-1492 or e-mail us at chol@rt66.com.
