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...
The beauty of the SALI program is that it allows the instructor to teach relevant life science content, and
at the same time, develops science process skills as well, and in a logical and developmentally-appropriate sequence.
Another distinct advantage of the program is that it focuses on issues and tradeoffs, facilitating some really meaningful
and engaging discussions revolving around bioethics. In the past, I feared appearing "preachy" about the issues
that concern me, but now the discussions flow freely and objectively as an extension of the course. Finally, I find
that I am able to modify lessons to meet the specific abilities and interests of my school's demography. Some lessons
work better than others, and I can occasionally come up with suggested improvements, but my doubts that a single
curriculum existed which could adequately meet the needs of my students have been erased.
