Lysol^® Minilabs Science Kit: Module #1

Lysol^®, in collaboration with The GIANT Room—a co-design lab for teachers, students, and their families—is proud to return for year two of our Science Kit program, “Minilabs,” as part of the HERE for Healthy Schools initiative.

Building on the success of last year, we’re working to make Minilabs even more inclusive, expanding accessibility and support for students with diverse needs, including neurodivergent students, early readers, and English Language learners. The Lysol® Minilabs Science Kits will once again be donated to a limited number of Title 1 elementary schools across the United States at the start of the 2025–26 school year. Elementary school admins, district leaders, teachers, and cluster science and/or health teachers are encouraged to request a kit for their classrooms.

The HERE for Healthy Schools program is designed to reduce absenteeism by engaging students with hands-on activities that make learning about germs and hygiene fun, memorable, and actionable. Geared toward grades 1 and 2, the kit teaches the science of germs while fostering lifelong positive hygiene habits. Selected classrooms will receive a Lysol® Minilabs Science Kit to be implemented throughout the school year. Each kit includes hands-on materials for the entire classroom, lesson plans aligned with NGSS, ELA, Health, and TEKS standards, easy-to-use teacher resources including student-facing lesson slides and guides for home-school connection, and take-home activities.

All activities, lesson plans, and resources have been co-designed with teachers, kids, and families.
