Featuring five real pieces of raw amber, the Discover Amber Earth Science Kit gives young paleontologists the opportunity to search for actual prehistoric creatures trapped inside chunks of amber. This earth science kit for kids plays out like a fun mystery, since raw amber looks like an opaque orange rock with no way to tell what interesting creatures may be trapped inside them. Children will have to use the varying grades of gemstone sandpaper to polish each piece of amber and use the magnifying glass to discover what mysterious creatures may be hiding within the hardened resin. Don't worry about dust, because this amber kit includes a durable workstation tray to collect any mess that is made when polishing the precious prehistoric artifacts.
Filled with interesting facts about amber and its possible trapped residents, the full-color adventure guide details the amazing way amber is formed, how bugs may become trapped inside it, and even how to tell the difference between real amber and fake amber. As an added bonus, the Discover Amber Earth Science Kit includes a cool amber colored keychain that has a real scorpion trapped inside it. Before the five pieces of raw amber are polished into a see-through state, children will have something cool to look at and show their friends as soon as the box is opened. Once children have finished polishing the pieces of amber, they will be left with truly unique ancient artifacts to display in their bedrooms. We only offer one precaution when having fun with this unique educational science kit. Based on what we have learned from books and movies, we do not recommend extracting DNA from the prehistoric creatures in this earth science kit to build a theme park filled with actual cloned dinosaurs.
