KYLE, Texas, April 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Electronic Kourseware International (Pink Sheets:EKII) a provider of low cost science supplies to educational facilities and other institutions, announced today that the company's homeschool product line has been updated, improved and re-launched. The homeschool products are under the brand name "Science Labs-in-a-Box." The product line, which was endorsed by Practical Homeschooling Magazine and homeschooling gurus Mary Pride and Cathy Duffy, is an innovative program that brings exciting and educational science experiments directly to homeschoolers and private schools.
According to Chief Executive Officer Phillip Greer, "Homeschooling is the fastest growing educational market segment in our country today with over 2,000,000 documented children currently being homeschooled. It can be quite expensive with annual costs running into the thousands in some cases. Science Labs-in-a-Box addresses the most expensive part of homeschooling, trying to conduct professional, high quality lab experiments without spending thousands of dollars on expensive equipment every year. Under our program, you perform the same labs in your home that are performed by students around the country and return the equipment every two months. While this segment of the education market represents only a small part of the multi-billion dollar science education market and our overall business revenue, we do everything we can to make certain that Science Labs-in-a-Box is a rewarding and productive educational experience."
The prepackaged lab programs are sent straight to one's home and are professionally designed for elementary students up to high school students. Each box includes all equipment and materials needed for two students to complete the labs, including microscopes, chemicals, dissection specimens and tools, teacher's guides, student workbooks, scales, test tubes, water, tape, return postage, and much, much more. Science Labs-in-a-Box are available for purchase at www.labsinabox.com. Science kits and equipment are for sale at www.sciencelabs.com.
Recently the company has added improvements to the courses including introducing two new versions of the products at very competitive prices so that all homeschoolers may have the opportunity to conduct these exciting lab experiments. Over the years, through efficiencies in production and sourcing, Science Labs-in-a-Box has improved and bound the teachers' manuals and student workbooks and reduced pricing even on the original deluxe labs.
