Science Kit FAQs

Q. When will my kit arrive?
A. Teachers are enrolled to receive kits they are trained on in an academic quarter after the training. Ask your district administrator what quarter you will receive a kit.

Q. What is the deadline for returning my kit to CIBL?
A. The date of the kit return deadline is available on our calendar and is included in each kit on a separate sheet of paper.

Q. Is this deadline the last date to ship the kit or the date it must be received in the CIBL Warehouse?
A. This is the last date to ship the kit. Overdue kits are subject to a $100.00 late fee.

Q. If I forgot to return an item from my kit, how do I get it to the CIBL Warehouse?
A. Contact Ginny and send items as soon as possible, to our shipping address:
CIBL, 913 Ramseur Street, Durham, NC 27701

Q. Why have I only received 8 student guides for my 24 students?
A. CIBL provides the number of student guides for each kit as specified by the kit vendor. We advocate sharing and working in groups.

Q. I have called FedEx three times and they still haven’t picked up my kit. What do I do? Will I be responsible for late fees?
A. Contact Ginny immediately. We do not impose late fees if you make an effort to return the kit in a timely way.

The science kits have not only taught my children to be more discovery learners, but they have taught me as well.
Science is all about discovering, trying things over again, and learning from our mistakes. Students can’t do that with a textbook.
