Living materials are delivered within Region 20 by the ESC-20 Media Van on a weekly basis. Non Region 20 schools should check with their Regional Service Centers for delivery schedule.
Most materials are not to be returned. Those materials that are to be returned are clearly marked and must be returned on the date indicated on the shipping invoice.
Rats, mice, gerbils, and hamsters do not have to be returned. Teachers must have their own cages and water bottles.
Before returning an animal, call the Living Science Center to request a cage for transportation. Adequate food must be placed in the cage when returning animals to ESC-20.
All animals and materials will be delivered in ESC-20 owned containers and/or cages. All animal cages must be returned to ESC-20 on the next van pickup/delivery date following receipt of the animal. If special arrangements are
required, contact the Operations Manager of the Living Science Materials Center.
Also please return fish containers (even if broken), all mealworm containers, baby food jars, and distilled water containers so they can be reused.
Live snakes, when available, are loaned for a 2 week period and are shipped in locked cages. Notify the Living Science Center if you wish to receive a key to the cage.
