Vernier sells an exhaustive line of measuring and data collection equipment. Much of this equipment can be used with a PC or a graphing calculator. If you need to measure or quantify something, be it gas pressure, temperature, or even dissolved oxygen, this is a great source for equipment.

FLINN scientific inc is an excellent source for all needs scientific. They sell experiment kits, science toys, and even some great electronics to use in the lab. Flinn also has many free sources of information such as: a downloadable MSDS book, experiments and activities to try, and safety training for teachers.

Educational Innovations is science toy central. When we set up our science and toys unit this is where we shopped. They carry magnets, lab materials, Einstein action figures, and even a Cat-A-Pult. It is so easy to make education fun with materials from this supplier.
