• LEARN HOW TO LIVE ON MARS -- Build an inhabitable environment on Mars! Grow a biodome, make Martian soil, create compost and learn how food would grow.
• HELP HUMANS SURVIVE -- Mars doesn’t have water and the air is unbreathable. It’s up to kids to create a new “earth-like” ecosystem! This kit teaches kids how plants create oxygen and fresh water.
• ECO-ENGINEERING STEM FOR AGES 8+ -- After children complete their plant-filled biodome, they will plant seeds and witness germination. Plant radishes, chickpeas, beans and more! SEEDS NOT INCLUDED.
• INCLUDES 46+ PIECES -- This space kit features tools and ingredients for each experiment. It includes biodome parts, nutrient tank, Lab Test Zone, and necessary chemicals and more!
• KID-FRIENDLY, FULL-COLOR INSTRUCTION BOOKLET -- Science should be fun and easy to understand. That’s why each step in the activities comes with an illustration to show exactly what needs to be done!
Make your own Martian colony with this Mars Landing Survival Kit! Children aged 8+ will build a biodome, create Martian sand, witness germination, make a plant nutrient, create clean water and learn how plants produce air. Use the illustrated, full-color Education and Instruction Booklet to create a mini compost, make Martian “soil” and grow your plants! The booklet also includes a Daily Diary to keep track of plant growth. Once the plants grow, kids will conduct experiments to test water and air. The booklet includes seed suggestions, how to create a safe compost and best scientific practice for planting seeds! Additional experiments will teach kids how to compare ""breath” vs “air”, test for UV radiation, the effects of fossil fuels and food cloning! Adults supervision is recommended. Includes: gloves, mask, goggles, tweezers, pipettes x 2, red plastic tubing, tall measuring cylinder, stick on scales x 2, long red capillary wick, bag of sand x 2, sodium polyacrylate, calcium hydroxide, waste digester jar and lid, test jars x 3, universal indicator paper, plant height scales x 2, die cut growing tower, split dish, molded base, large clear crater dome, medium black crater dome, small black nutrient tank dome, UV beads x 4, stickers.
