Carolina Biological is a giant wholesaler of curriculum and science kits and educational materials that is well known throughout High Schools in the region.  Snake owners know them as the place to get frozen rats.  Scientists know them as the place to get microscopes.  They trade in “living organisms,” and “preserved organisms.”  Science teachers know them as a place to procure resources.

One of their latest offerings is a Biodiesel Kit which was designed by Rachel Burton at Piedmont Biofuels. Rachel consulted with Carolina Biological for years on this project.  With her background as an educator, she has developed biodiesel curriculum for the National Center for Appropriate Technology, and for North Carolina’s Community College system, and now this offering from Carolina Biological.

“Education and outreach has been part of Piedmont Biofuels mission from the start,” Burton said.  “It’s exciting to see a kit of this kind come to market.”
