About Lab-Aids
In 1963, LAB-AIDS was founded based on a unique and exciting
idea at the time – helping science teachers to prepare a more
meaningful "hands-on" experience in the classroom. The idea was
based on the belief that a complete lab activity could be
packaged at an economical "cost per student," and that these
"packages" would save teachers hours of lab preparation time.

Look What Teachers
Are Saying...
Renée Carson is the Middle Level Science Specialist for the Little Rock School District. She has taught middle
and junior high school for the past 30 years. She received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching
in 1998. Renée has given workshop for SALI and IEY at Regional and National Conferences. She will be working with
the teachers in South Carolina this summer. Rene' has trained teachers in her district in both SALI and IEY courses.
Renée is leading the way in Arkansas to making the changes towards standards-based, hands-on science for the middle
school student. SEPUP and Labs-Aids are making the difference for our students.
She has attended two SEPUP Leadership Conference; one in Berkeley and one in Ronkonkoma, NY. Her first opportunity
to be introduced to the SEPUP material was in 1999 at Berkeley, CA.. What a dramatic change took place in her ideas
about standards-based science materials!! She also began to plan how she wanted the middle school science program
to take shape. Through this introduction to the material produced at the Lawrence Hall of Science, Renée began to
actively pursue the best science program she could find for the middle schools in Little Rock.
The Science and Life Issue course was begun in Little Rock in the Fall, 2000. This has been an overwhelmingly
successful program for all seventh grade students in Little Rock this year. The teachers were introduced to the
program in August and began to implement the program when school started. Renée has continued to work with her teachers
throughout the year. The students have been the beneficiaries of a great program.
In the Fall, 2001, the eighth grade students will begin Issues, Evidence, and You. Renée has worked with the
eighth grades teachers throughout this school year and implementation will begin in August. The students will be
prepared to continue the philosophy in the SEPUP materials, and the teachers should benefit from the preparation
the students received in the seventh grade program.
Have I been pleased with the program? A most definite, “Yes!”. Parents have told me that their students have discussed
science at home and have pointed out things that were never taught during their science careers. Renée will continue
to work with teachers in her district as well as teachers across the country.
