Science Stuff^® began as a consulting business. As a consultant, Sue E. Bachus taught science workshops for K-8 teachers in numerous schools and school districts. The retail business materialized because teachers in the workshops wanted to purchase the items she used in teaching. The entrepreneurial lemonade-stand itch prevailed, and she created the first Science Stuff catalog in 1993 and handed them out in her workshops. The word spread and before long, there were phone calls for products and people showing up at her door. The company has grown ever since and Science Stuff went online in 1997.

"If I had to live my life over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing." -- Albert Einstein.

Dear Staff at Science Stuff,

I want to thank all those involved in helping me get my order of lenses. Our fifth grade "Evening with the stars" was a success. The telescopes built with the lenses were awesome. I will be sure to recommend your company to my school's staff. Thank you again for all your hard work. Your effort was appreciated greatly.

This is one of the most exciting web-sites I have ever seen! Not only can this 'stuff' help the kids but gives parents the chance to re-learn all over again--my mother had a favorite saying, "To Teach is to Learn Twice." Even at my age of 64 I'm looking forward so much to participating with my grandson and great-grand nieces and nephews in their explorations!

Thank you, again!
