Essential Support for Your Three-Dimensional Instruction
The free Carolina Essentials™ lab activities supplement the line of Carolina Kits 3D® labs.
Each resource references a science and engineering practice, disciplinary core idea, and crosscutting concept. Most activities require a class period or less and use minimal or common lab supplies.
These matrices organize the activities by core idea and performance expectation (PE).
