Today is our first day

! It is going well but after getting into science I have a question. I have 2 students working together. I ordered one intermediate logbook and one advanced logbook as instructed to do so on the website but we only are advised to order one kit so they do have to work together and can only "make" one experiment. Is there a way to order a second box so that I have the supplies for both to make their own experiments and be able to do Science assignments separately?
Thanks!

Hi! I have 3 students doing Rev to Rev. Two of them have the Intermediate logbooks and one has the Advanced logbook. I asked the same question at the convention. You do share the supplies and make the projects together. You would have to pay for the science kit a second time to get another set of supplies. The supplies are not sold separately. At first, I was disappointed about this, but then I realized that this was an excellent way for them to practice teamwork and learn to work together effectively. They have only made the racer together so far, but it went really well. The oldest then made the glider wing on her own since it is only scheduled for the Advanced science level. For us, it is working fine!

Suzy, I just checked the Exploration Education website and you can buy a supplies kit separately after all. I didn't realize that. However, it is quite pricey - $89.95. For us, it is not worth it. But I wanted to clear up what I just said about a supply kit not being sold separately. Apparently, that is an option after all.

I have three sharing. We are using the teamwork approach. It would have been $190 more dollars for them to do it separately--before shipping. AND more stuff in my house!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies ... we are trying the teamwork approach, too. As long as I can keep the oldest from "taking charge" which is so "natural" for our "first borns" to do it should work out fine ... if that seems to become an issue I am thinking of alternating weeks with one being "in charge" every other week
