Characteristics of Protists—Student Laboratory KitExplore Euglena, Paramecium, Amoeba, diatoms and colonial Volvox. First, students study stained, prepared microscope slides, and then they capture live specimens from aqueous cultures. Students watch the live specimens twirl, ooze, dart or roll under a microscope then stain the living specimens to observe major external and internal features.FB1929 I $65.60All About Earthworms! Super Value Laboratory KitGo beyond a typical dissection and study a live earthworm. First, students observe how live earthworms move and respond to the environment. Then they dissect preserved earthworms with emphasis on the muscles responsible for the observed movements. Includes 15 student booklets, a structures color overhead, structures diagram and work-sheet. Complete for 15 student groups. FB1786 I $26.45FLINN SCIENTIFIC I MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE SCIENCEANIMALS, CONTINUEDFollow Those Pheromones—Super Value Guided-Inquiry KitTermites are an important part of food chains and soil ecosystems. With a complex caste system, each colony member must commu-nicate with others through pheromones, vibrations and physical contact. A chemical in some inks mimics a contact pheromone of worker and soldier termites, so students can investigate variables, such as color, paper, texture, pattern and ink, to determine what makes termites do what they do! FB2098 I $39.65Choice ChambersEscape-proof, with two separate removable lids, and connected by a tunnel that allows small invertebrates to choose. Demonstrate habitat selection and preference influenced by different environmental conditions in each chamber or bacteria. Dishes are 3¼" diameter, ½" deep; passageway is ½" wide.FB2069 I $4.35Magnifying Bug Box, LargeTake these versatile magnifying boxes, or bug boxes, into the field to magnify captured live specimens. Or look at leaves, seeds, plants, soil or water organisms. Ideal for safe and clean examination of rock and mineral specimens. Use the lid alone as a magnifier. Available in two sizes: 1" and 1½".FB1164 I $3.35Giant Ant FarmEscape-proof and break-resistant, the giant ant farm gets students into the hidden world of nature’s tiniest engineers. This ant farm lets students observe ants developing tunnel networks and interacting through cooperative activities as they gather and store food. Includes special sand, food (for a year), the Ant Watchers’ Handbook, watering dropper and a certificate for a “starter” group of ants. FB0571 I $32.10
