Publishers
To help carry out the work of the LASER Center, the NSRC established partnerships with
four publishers of science curriculum materials developed with support from the National
Science Foundation (NSF). The publishers are--
- Carolina Biological Supply Company (Burlington, North Carolina)
- Delta Education (Hudson, New Hampshire)
- Kendall/Hunt (Dubuque, Iowa)
- VWR Scientific Products/Science Education and Lab-Aids (Buffalo Grove, Illinois)
The range of support offered by these LASER partners includes the provision of workshop
leaders and sample sets of curriculum materials for LASER events, copies of catalogs and
brochures describing the sample curriculum materials, and financial support for the
LASER Center.
Examples of the curriculum materials provided by the six publishers include the
