Those who take a close look at the special high breeding tank will train their eye for the tiny crustaceans that hatch from their eggs after just one day. Exciting experiments with focused light from a flashlight show how the little brine shrimp react to light and why they spend most of their time swimming on their backs. In petri dishes and plant pots, young researchers can grow salt crystals and exotic salt herbs themselves. In addition to a spatula and a pipette, the experiment kit also includes a magnifying glass for further experiments, which are described as inspiration in the detailed instructions. The extraordinary habitat—the salt desert—and its inhabitants are also introduced. Colorful 3D foil figures and pink and white sand guarantee fun. Don't forget to feed the shrimp. This experiment kit contains a cool salt desert experiment station with a special high tank, ideal for breeding and observing the nimble prehistoric shrimp. Bonus: Children grow exotic salt herbs and experience the process of salt production when beautiful salt crystals form during the experiment. The accompanying booklet provides plenty of background information on the cultivation and behavior of brine shrimp and explains their habitat, the salt desert. Children aged 8 and up learn to handle living beings gently and responsibly, taking care of and nurturing them properly. Quick breeding success after just one day. The experiment set also serves as a backdrop for plenty of fun with the colorful 3D foil figures in the shape of cacti, alpacas, and more.
