Soil Test Kits
The budding home scientist and horticulturist will both delight in the ease with which this self contained soil test kit brings discovery. The kit measures not only ph., but also Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash content and contains material for 40 tests. Since these are the essential ingredients affecting plant nutrition, we see a science project in the making: experimental plant growth in soils with different amounts of acidity and/or nutrients. From Luster Leaf(tm), the kit is entirely self contained and includes complete instructions for use and explanations. Be careful, please, the kit does have chemicals and should not be used by young children without supervision.

Along the way, they cook a potato with sunlight, make fresh water from salt water, galvanize a nail and split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and much more. The 96-page, full-color manual integrates experiments and activities with an engaging story line. The kit carries The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, and is the winner of a Preferred Choice Award from Creative Child Magazine. Very, very nice.

Five Fossils, No Waiting
Makes us nuts, sitting around waiting fifty, sixty thousand years for the fossils to harden. So we got this clear plastic fossil mold from Roylco®, 8-1/2" x 10-1/2" OA, to make replicas of ammonite, chirostenotes' claw, trilobite, king crab and gryodus. You can create detailed plaster-of-Paris models 3" to 3-1/2" dia, but we'd give the kids a break and use chocolate or Jell-O", because nothing makes paleontology more fun than eating the fossil record.

Selaginella Lepidophylla
Aka Club Moss, Aka Dinosaur Plant. This innocent little plant will unfold into full lush green foliage when placed in a small bowl of water over night. If removed from the water it will roll up into a dead looking little brown ball. And it will perform the act over and over again. Just as it has ever since dinos roamed the earth. Fun for all!

Cooler Than Monkeys
Triops: way cooler, bigger and more active than sea monkeys. They're dinosaur shrimp, leftovers from some 200 million years ago. Don't eat them; just grow them and enjoy this bizarre & ancient display of nature! You get a kidney-shaped tank 2-3/8" tall x 8-1/2"x 5-3/4", a very informative instruction booklet, and a packet full of triops eggs and food. Add the eggs to water and watch them go; they'll hatch in a day and reach 1" to 2" or more in a few weeks. Really easy to do, and really cool too.
