One of my tips in the post 5 tips for experiment success, was to have the supplies for your experiment on hand. I mentioned how I keep a well-stocked science supply cabinet in my house.
Today, I wanted to give you all a peek inside of my house by sharing with you guys 26 items, from A to Z, that you can find in my science supply cabinet.
This list is in no way exhaustive! For B – I could have put balloons, batteries, beads, borax, and so on. But I figured that would get super boring! Instead, it is just the highlights.
Let’s get to the list!
26 Items you can find in my science supply cabinet
A – Alligator Clips
