Districts and schools that choose KnowAtom receive curriculum binders for each of their teachers, classroom technology, visual aids, and durable manipulatives, as well as all the materials needed to carry out the hands-on activities. Using proprietary logistics KnowAtom sends each individual classroom its materials and consumable kits on a regular schedule. The robust KnowAtom content and inquiry projects are supported through a unit specific replenishment process. This reduces the need for teachers to spend valuable time finding, prepping, and distributing science resource materials.
