Educational Insights Nancy B’s Bug Discovery Lab
(Educational Insights $21.00)
With this portable Bug Terrarium with a 3X magnifier in the lid, and 2X magnifiers on the side plus a mirrored bottom, budding ichthyologists will be able to observe and record the way the bugs they capture move about. The kit also comes with a swivel bottomed bug catcher and a pit trap with a lid with breathing holes. Best of all this STEM kit has a journal with activities and places to keep observations. Also new this season, a fascinating Garbage to Gardens Compost Kit that gives young scientists a front row close up view of decomposition. The clear compost container has side by side compartments so kids can observe a banana peel disappear and explore many other experiments that demonstrate the eco cycle of biodegradable items that can turn from garbage to garden rich reusable soil. Like other kits from this line, the directions are clear, but this does require reading and following directions as well as time. It does not come out of the package ready made; that’s a plus and a fun way to stimulate girls and boys interests in science. 8 & up
