Lab catalog · Kindergarten – Grade 8
Every lab lesson, in every format
All 41 Bronx Excellence science labs are merged into one catalog and released in immersive formats through C.indyVerse — step-inside VR labs, AR models on the desk, rotatable 3D specimens, run-the-variables simulations and the physical bench work that anchors them. Every lab adapts to a scholar's IEP mandates.

Printable worksheets for every lab, every grade, every campus
Each of the 41 labs ships with a one-click, print-ready scholar worksheet: driving question, campus and modality check-off, prediction, a data table, a full Claim–Evidence–Reasoning frame, a reflection, a take-home extension and a teacher mastery check with an IEP accommodation checklist. Same sheet works at Bronx Excellence 1, 2, 3 and 4, whether scholars run the lab in VR, AR, 3D, simulation or at the hands-on bench.

Personalized to every scholar
Scholars with an IEP get the same labs with their mandates applied — extended time, text-to-speech, high-contrast and sensory-aware modes, scaffolded reading and guided steps. Upload the IEP on the secure partner portal, then come back and the catalog personalizes itself. This site stores no IEP documents or health records, and the partner platform is FERPA, HIPAA and COPPA compliant.
