“It is a pleasure to partner with Carolina Biological Supply Company... to offer a Certified Version of our OpenSciEd science curriculum for middle school. I am impressed with how Carolina understood our vision, paired it with their expertise in designing investigations, and created a custom version with enhancements to the units.
