Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about finding the right equipment for your subject.

How is Shop by Subject organised?

Shop by Subject groups our equipment by curriculum area rather than product type, so you can shop the way you plan lessons. Each subject links through to focused collections such as Botany or Electric Circuits, and some products appear under more than one subject where they are genuinely useful for both.

Is this equipment aligned with the CAPS curriculum?

Yes. The subject groupings follow the CAPS curriculum structure used in South African schools, covering Natural Sciences, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Geography, Mathematics and Social Sciences from Grade 8 through to Grade 12.

What is the difference between Educational and Industry grade equipment?

Educational grade equipment is more affordable and built for classroom demonstration and everyday student use. Industry grade equipment is higher spec and priced for professional labs, though schools with bigger budgets are welcome to buy up into that range too.

Can I order equipment for more than one subject at once?

Yes. Browsing by subject is just a shortcut to find what you need. Add items from any of the subject collections to the same cart and check out once, the same as shopping anywhere else on the site.

I cannot find equipment for a subject I teach. What should I do?

Contact our team with the subject and grade you are equipping. We stock far more than what is grouped here, and we are happy to help you put together a full class set or a single replacement item.
