STC is another lab kit supplier
With the state/federal standards giving an outline of every lesson (or segment) that must be taught, it's pretty easy for a supplier to provide a kit (or workbook or software) for each unit.
Also easy for a teacher to mix and match which units he will do a lab for, which of these he will buy a kit for and which company's kit to buy. One from FOSS, one from STC, one he puts together hi;mself, one unit no lab, one unit online software.
What if our online science gave a list of kits for each unit, each sized for homeschool. With one-click ordering? A big convenience for parent...one-stop shopping and you buy unit by unit. A nice new distribution system for the various kit suppliers.
One wild idea. Is there a roll for a kit dissassembler? But a classroom kit....usually for 32 or 40 students. Break into home kits. Add in any extra supplies needed like an extra teachers guide.
Just brainstorming a little. Easier to do in writing than in head.
