FAQs

All supplies for the experiments are included in your box. No need to rush to the store!

We typically include extra supplies to repeat some of the experiments a few times. Most of the tools are reusable – like the real microscope! If your kids would prefer to work independently, then individual boxes are suggested.

BioBox Labs experiments are engaging for students (and even adults!) – ages 6 and up. They are designed for most students to complete independently. Younger students will benefit from working with an adult or sibling.
