Science Materials Center

The Science Materials Center (SMC) is a NWESD cooperative that provides cost effective science kit refurbishment services to member districts.  The SMC currently supports Foss and STC kits in Earth, Physical and Life Science Strands, totaling 52 different kit titles from three different publishers.  Member districts can easily join the cooperative at any time, allowing them to have "hands on" science materials delivered right to their classroom. 

The SMC is located at Port Susan Middle School in Stanwood and currently serves the following school districts: Burlington Edison, Coupeville, Ferndale, Granite Falls, La Conner, Lake Stevens, Lakewood, Lummi Nations Tribal School, Mount Vernon, Shaw Island, Snohomish, Stanwood-Camano, and Sultan.
