QSL Biology Lab Kit

The QSL Biology Lab Kit provides the hands-on laboratory component of a biology science course.  It is coordinated with: A Beka, ACE Ministries, Alpha Omega, Apologia (Wile), BJU Press,Christian Light, Glencoe Science, and Prentice Hall biology texts.  

The QSL Biology Lab Kit was designed to make teaching and preparation very convenient. Use with adult supervision, for ages 14 and up.

The kit includes the 275 page QSL Biology Lab Manual which explains each experiment in detail. Included in the kit is virtually everything needed except perishables and a microscope.
