How can this fit with your Linked Learning Pathway?

Our lab curriculum can be used to meet

your D level lab science needs.

Our lab curriculum can be used to meet

your D level lab science needs.

Applying the labs to your classesLabs are designed to be smoothly integrated into the

Biology, Chemistry and Anatomy & Physiology UC a-g classes you are already teaching

Aligned with Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards

The name on the class does not have to be changed as it is consistent with the curriculum you already teach

Use one or all of the labs – there is no minimum requirement

Applying our labs to your classesThe curriculum is free to any teacher: www.haspi.org The supplies needed are listed in the teacher guide and

you can obtain the supplies as you normally would for your lab
