Science kits, supplies, and equipment for learning at home

The Lab Stockroom carries science kits, microscopes, anatomy and geology models, magnets, optics and electricity kits, rocks and minerals specimens, and the supplies that support science learning outside the classroom. This page brings together products from our 9,300+ SKU catalog scoped for homeschool families, distance learning programs, after-school enrichment, and individual learners — equipment sized for home use, kits that don't require specialized facilities, and curriculum-aligned supplies that ship to residential addresses. Subjects covered include general science, biology, chemistry, physics, geology and earth science, and engineering, with age ranges spanning elementary through high school.

Every product on this page ships from our Rochester, NY warehouse, with same or next business day shipping on in-stock orders. Most items ship to residential addresses without restriction; certain hazardous chemicals and preserved specimens are limited to school and institutional addresses, and any shipping restriction appears on the product page before checkout. We also accept purchase orders from schools, districts, and homeschool co-ops buying at-home kits for distance-learning students. If you're matching a kit to a grade level or planning a unit you'll teach at home, email service@thelabstockroom.com or call (585) 360-2295 during business hours.

Science at home — frequently asked questions

What science supplies do you carry for homeschool and at-home learning?

The Lab Stockroom carries science kits, microscopes, anatomy and geology models, rocks and minerals specimens, magnets, optics kits, electricity and circuit kits, non-hazardous chemistry kits, forensic and DNA kits, herbarium presses, telescopes, and science-themed gifts for at-home use. The catalog draws from across our 9 categories and covers elementary through high school grade levels. Products on this page are either sized for individual or family use or part of curriculum-aligned learning kits built for home delivery.

How are your science kits different from toy-store science kits?

Our kits are built on real science equipment and reagents rather than novelty packaging. The Lab Stockroom is a science and laboratory supply company — the same vendors that supply school chemistry classrooms supply our at-home catalog. Glassware is borosilicate where it should be, magnets are real neodymium or alnico, microscopes are functioning instruments rather than plastic novelties, and chemistry kits use real reagents at concentrations appropriate for the learner age range. If you've outgrown toy-store kits, this catalog is built for the step up.

Can teachers and schools order at-home science kits for distance learning students?

Yes. The Lab Stockroom works with schools, districts, and homeschool co-ops that need to assemble at-home science kits for distance-learning students. We accept purchase orders, can fulfill bulk orders of individual kits, and can ship to multiple student addresses where allowed. Email service@thelabstockroom.com or call (585) 360-2295 to discuss custom kit assembly or a bulk distance-learning order.

What subjects can I cover with at-home science supplies?

The at-home catalog spans general science, biology (microscopy, life science models, DNA and genetics kits), chemistry (non-hazardous kits, crystal growing, indicator chemistry), physics (magnets, optics, electricity kits, simple machines), geology and earth science (rock and mineral specimens, fossil sets, weather instruments), and engineering and design (building kits, simple machines, circuit kits). Each product page lists the subject and topics covered so you can match supplies to a curriculum or a specific unit.

Do you ship to residential addresses?

Yes, most products ship to residential addresses with no special requirements. A small number of items — certain hazardous chemicals, preserved dissection specimens, and a few larger pieces of equipment — are restricted to school, college, or institutional addresses. Any address restriction appears on the product page before checkout. If you're not sure whether something will ship to your address, contact us before ordering.

How quickly do science supplies ship?

In-stock orders ship the same or next business day from our Rochester, NY warehouse. Most domestic orders arrive within 2–5 business days depending on destination and carrier. Certain kits, preserved specimens, and reagents may have additional handling requirements; the product page lists any restrictions. If a birthday, holiday, or curriculum start date is driving your order, call or email us before purchasing and we can confirm availability and lead time.
