At PASCO, we understand that the foundations students develop during Middle School are essential to their future STEM success. We provide modern tools so you can meet standards in a clear, time-efficient manner. With topics ranging from Cells and Plants, to Photosynthesis, Ecology, Human Physiology, and more, our free laboratory investigations promote active, meaningful learning.
You can confidently introduce students to complex Life Science concepts with our engaging, cross-platform technologies and live data collection and visualization.
Featured Products
EcoZone System
This system enables students to study and test real ecosystem interactions. PASCO sensors can be added to explore decomposition, resource consumption, competition, gas exchange, and more.
