Good morning all,
GEMS-Net, a science education program at the University of Rhode Island (URI), has a surplus of FREE classroom science supplies from the FOSS K-5 science curriculum. While we do not have complete curriculum units, there is a variety of materials that could be used for STEM/STEAM, science, makerspace, homeschooling, and afterschool/summer programs and activities. We also have a surplus of FOSS student textbooks and teacher guides.
All items are free for educational use by families or organizations. Please bring your own bags or bins for transport. You are welcome to take as much as you can haul. We have carts available for loading.
