Heebie Jeebies Revolting Science

Discover and cultivate the disgusting bacteria hiding in our daily lives. Find out what's living in your mouth, grow microbes from your kitchen, and test the 20 - second rule. Gross out your family and friends while learning about scientific experiments and observation. This is a perfect STEM biology kit for kids 8 and older, or 6 - 7 - year - olds with adult supervision. It contains 1 magnifying glass, 2 cotton swabs, 1 sachet of agar, a Petri dish, and illustrated instructions.

Using this kit is super easy! First, use the cotton swabs to collect samples from places like your mouth or the kitchen. Then, put the sample on the agar in the Petri dish. Use the magnifying glass to observe the bacteria as they grow. For kids under 8, make sure an adult is around to help. Keep the Petri dish in a warm, safe place and don't open it once the bacteria start growing. After you're done observing, follow the instructions to properly dispose of the Petri dish to keep everything clean and safe.
