Kit Add On's

BOCES 4 Science Partners:

I hope you are doing well as we grow nearer to the return to school.

The purpose of this communication is to share information relating to BOCES 4 Science “Add-On” kits we are offering for the 2020-2021 school year.

Our core mission is to actively engage all students in amazing, hands-on science to help support the development of 21st century skills necessary for college and career.

The New York State Department of Education, in their July reopening guidance document, states that students must still “receive high quality, rigorous, standards based instruction that will meet their academic needs and allow them to attain the learning standards in all curricular areas” -- including science.

To support classrooms using BOCES 4 Science resource kits, we are proud to offer “Add-On” kits to provide students with individual instructional materials, and help limit the use of shared supplies.

An “Add-On” kit supplements the use of the primary BOCES 4 Science resource kit with some additional supplies to support learning for all students (based on materials provided in primary kit and “Add-On” kit) in school, at home, or in a hybrid setting. For example, where a lesson may ask students to work in a small group setting with one set of materials, an “Add-On” kit will provide materials for all students to explore content without needing to share supplies.
