Home Science Tools is a longtime homeschool science retailer selling individual lab kits and supplies — dissection kits, chemistry sets, microscopes, and more — for any age and any curriculum. Rather than a recurring monthly box, families buy what they need, when they need it, including kits matched specifically to popular curricula like Apologia.
The company also sells Science Unlocked, a bundled product line that combines hands-on kits with a teacher guide and student workbook to function as a complete, NGSS-aligned K-12 science curriculum, shipped with zero prep required. Families can use Home Science Tools purely as a supply source for supplementing another curriculum, or build a full year of science around the Science Unlocked bundles.
What Families Love
Genuinely reliable source for real lab materials — dissection kits, chemistry sets, microscopes, and more.
Science Unlocked bundles combine into a full K-12 curriculum with teacher guide and student workbook, not just loose kits.
Not a locked-in subscription — buy individual kits as needed, or the full bundle for the year.
Non-religious, works well alongside curricula that need outside lab materials (including Apologia-matched kits).
Things to Consider
Not a traditional monthly subscription box — this is direct kit/supply purchasing, individual or bundled.
Cost varies significantly depending on which kits or bundle you choose.
Full Science Unlocked bundles are a bigger upfront commitment than a single kit purchase.
Honest Reviews. Real Families. Better Choices.
