The Neo/SCI Indicators Neo/LAB AP Chemistry is computer-based interactive exercises on pH and indicators and the back titration method to determine neutralization capacities of three commercial antacid remedies (per tablet and per gram), and the composition of a mixture of Mg(OH) 3 and Al(OH) 3 for advanced placement (AP) chemistry students in grades 11-12, and includes a narrated tutorial, assessments of student comprehension, and customized teacher resources. The software provides a realistic, simulated laboratory environment. Activities include equipment manipulation, variable changes, and results viewing. Results are recorded and data is analyzed in an electronic notebook. The comprehensive tutorial offers self-paced and individualized lessons, with illustrations, animations, and microscopic imagery. The tutorial covers the following topics: the role of pH, acid-base reactions, and buffers in neutralization reactions, and how indicators are used to determine the endpoints of the reactions. Terms within the text link to an included glossary. Assessments evaluate student comprehension in preparation for the AP chemistry examination, and can be taken in practice or test mode. Practice mode provides instant feedback, while test mode grades and tracks student progress.

Teacher resources include customized test and worksheet creation, as well as customized multimedia tutorials and presentations. A library of images and graphics is included for use in creating tutorials and presentations. The resources can be saved in XML or HTML file formats for Internet access. Teacher resources also include printable handouts, as well as web link access from within the software. Web links connect the user to a collection of resources available for teachers on the Neo/SCI website. Neo/SCI Indicators Neo/LAB AP Chemistry software is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, and Mac OS 9.2 or OS X, and is available as an individual or network license. An individual license is valid for a single installation; a network license is valid for an unlimited number of installations in a single building. The software comes in a 7.5 x 5.25 inch (H x W) plastic clamshell case. (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right.)

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

School Specialty provides instructional materials and supplies under dozens of brands, among them Think Math, Delta Education, Frey Scientific, Childcraft, and School Smart. The company, founded in 1959, is headquartered in Greenville, WI.
