The
Science Notebook
Sources of Supplies
Welcome to
the Supplies Page!
Most
of the experiments and projects on this site can be done using
materials found around the house, or are readily available from
one or
more of the following local stores:
Grocery
Hardware
Pharmacy
"Big box" store such as Wal-Mart
Consumer electronics store such as RadioShack
Education or teacher supply store
Museum stores - but you'll pay full price
And my all time favorite, the local "dollar store"
Once
in a while you may decide you want to do a little more and
will need to
order equipment or supplies that are not available
locally. There
are many online stores that sell science sets, equipment
and supplies,
so unless you are looking for something a whole lot more
dangerous than
what is used in experiments here, you should have very
little problem
finding a supplier.
The
suppliers listed below
are ones that The
Science Notebook
staff has used in the past. None of these suppliers are
advertisers or sponsors of this site, so feel free to shop
around on
your own. (All links open in a new window.)
Home
Science Tools
- This company is
targeted toward home schoolers and others interested
in science, and has a wide variety of science equipment
and
chemicals. They sell in small quantities and their
prices are
very reasonable. In addition, they sell all kinds of
science
kits. If you can't find what you need locally, this
is a
great
place to start!
HMS
Beagle Online Store
- Lots of science sets and equipment for experimenters as
well as a very large selection
of chemicals in small quantities at very reasonable
prices.
Elemental
Scientific
- This company
sells microscopes, telescopes, lab equipment and
chemicals. It carries some of the harder to find equipment
and
chemicals and is also a good source if you can't find
something
locally. You can download their catalog in .pdf form.
Scientifics
- This is Edmund
Scientific's online science supply site. It has a
lot of unique items, as well as some real classics. If you
want
something unusual, you'll probably find it here.
However,
their
prices are generally higher than the suppliers shown above
for general
science equipment and supplies, so compare before you buy.
