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.

Cooler Than Monkeys
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

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!

It's A Dino Skull, You Dig?
Yes, you do dig. And when you're finished digging, chipping, and brushing away the 6" x 5" x 4" plaster/earthen block, you're rewarded with a miniature replica of a skull from a Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, or a Tyrannosaurus. (We'll pick.) When you're done, mount it on the included wooden stand with a plaque identifying it. Includes a little wood pick and brush.

Bar That Germ
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's an Ology kit from Action Products. In this case, microbiology. Learn about germs while you make 2 bars of environmentally friendly soap that you can actually use. Each kit comes with (2) 2-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 3/4" bars of translucent glycerin soap, 2 molds that resemble specific germs, a length of string that represents the cilia (you have to be there to appreciate this), a 7-page fact book, and a fact card for each of the two germs. All the soap is safe. The Helpful kit includes one mold resembling a Lactobacillus germ and one a Ruminococcus germ. The Harmful kit includes one mold resembling a Salmonella germ and one a common cold germ. Happily, you learn about the "harmful" part from the fact book, you don't play with it. It's a good way to get smart abut germs.
