K-5 Science Materials
We have finished doing inventory on science materials in the warehouse! The spreadsheet below shows both consumable and non-consumable materials needed for all Discovery Education labs and Mystery Science labs by grade level. It also shows the availability of these materials in our warehouse. Fortunately, most of the materials needed for Mystery Science labs are in stock in the warehouse.
Science Materials List By Grade Level for Discovery Education and Mystery Science

If you need materials for a science lab you are planning, you can order materials from the warehouse through your site’s Library Media Specialist. If you order any non-consumable materials, you can keep them on site for future use when you are finished with the activity. Also, if you see items on the list that you have a need for to support your students in other areas besides science, feel free to request them in an order. When orders are submitted, we will work to get the materials delivered to sites as quickly as possible, but please allow a two-week turnaround for this.
