    • FOSSweb and Technology
    • Science Notebook Masters (for grades 1–5)
    • Teacher Masters
    • Assessment Masters
  • FOSS Science Resources book. A copy of the student book of readings that are integrated into the instruction.
  • Equipment Kit
    • The FOSS Program provides the materials needed for the investigations, including metric measuring tools, in sturdy, front-opening drawer-and-sleeve cabinets. Inside, you will find high-quality materials packaged for a class of 32 students. Consumable materials are supplied for multiple uses.
  • Classroom set of FOSS Science Resources Books
    • FOSS Science Resources are books of original readings developed to accompany each module. The readings are referred to as articles in the Investigations Guide. Students read the articles in the book as they progress through the module. The articles cover a specific concept, usually after that concept has been introduced in an active investigation.
