Learn how environmental scientists study pollution by testing air and water samples from your local area.

Primer balances are the perfect scales for budding scientists.

For centuries, humans have used selective breeding and conventional hybridization to produce desirable qualities and to increase crop yields. Today, scientists use genetic engineering to directly manipulate the DNA, quickly producing these desirable traits. In this experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to explore the molecular methods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms. No thermal cycler is required. Students are also encouraged to explore the controversy surrounding the use of genetically modified organisms.

This life-size felt mannequine makes it easier for young kids to visualize the complex inner workings of the human body. Designed under a doctor's direction, this 34-piece set responsibly teaches health, exercise, anatomy and body funtions.

The Weather Globe Barometer is similar in design and function of the first barometer created by the Italian scientist Torricelli in 1643. This glass weather barometer can be used to predict weather conditions. Rising water in the tube means bad weather, falling water in the tube means good weather. Not only is this a great demonstration of atmospheric pressure, but it is a beautiful addition to any home or office.
