We know that the beginning of the school year can be an especially hectic time for educators. To lessen the burden a bit, we've put together a hand-picked collection of our favorite introductory science materials, hands-on and virtual activities, and interactive lab materials for you to use in your science classroom.
Don't see what you need? Check out our full library to explore all 30,000+ free learning resources from LabXchange, PhET, Science Buddies, and many others!
These collections of resources ("clusters") offer introductions to some of the fundamental fields of science, like biology, chemistry, and physics. Each cluster is broken down into several pathways, which go into more detail about specific concepts.
Hands-on classroom activities and interactive virtual activities offer fun ways to explore scientific concepts. Try these out to spark learners' creativity and curiosity for science!
Check out our full library of teaching guides for more hands-on activities.

These resources introduce the importance of following proper lab safety and procedures and allow learners to practice fundamental lab techniques, including making a solution and micropipetting.
Educators are learners, too! These resources offer teaching strategies, advice, and ideas for educators.
In addition to checking out the materials above, we encourage educators to explore our Subjects page to find content in their area of focus, our Curricula page to find resources aligned to their specific curricula and standards (such as NGSS), and our Teacher Resources page to learn more about the many types of resources you can find on LabXchange. We wish you a successful school year ahead!
