Half Past Banana

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Resist the urge to just plug the electrodes into a nectarine and tell people what a sweet little clock you have. Read the few enclosed pages of background material and the explanation of the electrochemical reaction in an organic battery, and stagger your fans with your brilliance. Schylling's Fruit-Powered Clock kit also includes a 2-1/4" x 1-1/4" LCD clock/calendar, leads, a jumper wire, a stand, and complete instructions. You supply the fresh fruit. (It also works with a potato. Ain't science wonderful?) A great teaching device for 8-year-olds and up. No soldering required.

Who? Who?

Owl pellets, that's who! Or whom, actually, but owls can't say whom. No lips. A perennial favorite, these are the all-natural regurgitated balls of fur and bones that are the leftovers of the owl dining community. You'll get three rather large pellets from a barn owl, along with a small acrylic magnifier, a pair of 5" long forceps, a bone ID chart and 10pp instruction booklet explaining how to dissolve the pellets and reassemble the (usually) complete small rodent skeletons that the owl couldn't manage to digest. We also recommend going to www.kidwings.com to see a virtual dissection and learn more about these fascinating and educational little beauties.
