Discover the science of living things with this complete introductory microscope kit. The beautifully illustrated experiment manual guides you through observations of many living specimens found in and around your home: onion cells, pond water, chloroplasts, plant stem cross sections, microorganisms, mouth cells, meat cells, different types of hair and fur, dust mites, bugs, pollen in honey, and much more.
See how an onion cell shrivels and how an paramecium wiggles. Analyze the differences between the hair on your head and the sheep’s hair in your wool sweater. The kit includes slides, cover slips, and many helpful tools. Learn how to use these tools to prepare slides and how to use the microscope to examine them.
Investigate how the lenses in a microscope bend light to magnify images. When the ocular lens, or eyepiece lens, works together with the three objective lenses, the result is a total magnification power of 60x, 150x, or 600x. The microscope has a battery-powered light to light up the specimens. The full-color, 32-page manual covers microscope setup, usage, and many fascinating observations of biological specimens.

A unique hands-on science teaching aid that is visually exciting to students. Students are able to watch what they see and read in a science book happen right before their eyes. The Teaching Tank is approximately 12" x 12" x 1/2" and can be easily dismantled and cleaned with mild soap and water.
Vertebrate skeletal system (bird). Learn about the backbone and body structure of birds. Sealed in resin, making it easy to observe, handle, and store. 5.3" x 3.5" x 0.9". Weight: 0.8 lbs.
Provide your classroom with an unforgettable, hands-on lesson on ecology and the food chain. Your students will dissect owl pellets to study the skeletal remains of the raptor's prey and, using a dichotomous key, identify the species consumed. Also construct a rodent skeleton from the recovered skeletal prey. With their findings, students will construct a food web, compiling a summary of the owl's diet in order to estimate the diversity of the prey available in the ecosystem.
Watch caterpillars change into butterflies right before your eyes with our award-winning Butterfly Garden! We've completely redesigned this classic educational wonder after 33 years on the market. Raise 5 Painted Lady butterflies while learning all about metamorphosis. See the caterpillar's transition as it matures, changes into a chrysalis, and finally emerges as a Painted Lady butterfly! Absolutely safe to release into the environment. Includes colorful habitat, certificate for 5 butterfly larvae with special food, and complete instructions. Three butterflies are guaranteed to be perfect specimens. Please allow approximately 3 weeks for your larvae to develop. Available only in the Continental U.S. and Alaska. Ages 4 and up. 10" X 10".

Teach your students basic problem-solving skills! Challenge them to develop and test a hypothesis which determines the ideal environmental conditions for specially encapsulated sponge animals to emerge from their "cocoons". In the process, they learn the basics of how scientists design experiments, control variables, gather information, summarize and present data, and solve scientific problems. Grades 7-10
