Lab Investigations — Kits
Hands-On Science Lab Investigations
Real science. Real inquiry. Ready to use.
NewPath’s Lab Investigation Kits bring authentic, inquiry-based science learning to Grades 4–8. Each self-contained kit guides students through a structured investigation — asking questions, gathering evidence, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions — just like real scientists do.
Hands-on lab investigations enhance comprehension of key science concepts through student or small-group activity. With 14 kits spanning life science, physical science, health, and STEM, there is a lab for every unit, every classroom, and every learner.
Topics include genetics and evolution, cell biology, photosynthesis, ecology, environmental science, neuroscience, health science, and more — all grounded in real-world scenarios that make abstract concepts concrete and memorable.

Why It Works
Students learn best when they do science, not just read about it. Each Lab Investigation puts students in the role of the scientist — making predictions, testing hypotheses, and interpreting real data. The result is deeper understanding, stronger retention, and genuine excitement about science.
