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...
SEPUP has brought the 'thrill' of teaching to an all time high for me. It enables me to actively engage the
students in the process of learning. As I guide then through the activities, the focus shifts from me as a disseminator
of 'facts' to the student as an involved learner. Curricula developed by SEPUP fosters the development of critical
thinking skills and the use of evidence to make decisions, which, to me, are life long skills needed to be a contributing
member of society.
Since I starting using SEPUP's Issues, Evidence, and You, I no longer have students asking why they need to
learn about a particular concept or theory. They (students) see and understand the relevance to their lives since
the curriculum is based on issues in the real world. While examining and investigating these issues, the students
learn the science concepts and theories needed to meet the National and State science requirements.
