Algae Research Supply: Algae and Zooplankton Education Kit

$ 19.99 $ 25.99

Nannochloropsis is a useful genus of algae found all around the planet in marine and brackish environments. The cultivation of Nannochloropsis is relatively simple and produces beautiful green cultures. Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans also known as brine shrimp. Baby brine shrimp can either hatch from a cyst or are born live. Its life cycle is affected by salinity, water temperature, and food availability.  In the wild, Artemia  feed on algae.  Their cysts hatch with the highest food availability. The emerging brine shrimp feed on the abundant algae to reach maturity, a process that takes 2-3 weeks depending on food availability and temperature. The algae and brine shrimp can happily live together by helping each other out!

Algae and Zooplankton can be used to help teach many lessons from the Next Generation Science Standards.  We have designed this kit to be used as the basic equipment you will need to do hands-on work in:

• Photosynthesis
• Respiration
• Reproduction
• Populations and communities
• Experimental Design 
• Energy and matter transfer through systems
• many more...

Beaker Bags

$ 2.95

Beaker Bags are durable plastic bags designed for us in the classroom, field, or laboratory. The Beaker Bag has two sets of scientific markings:

• (1) graduations on the bag to 500mL
• (2) a 1-mm grid for measuring organisms inside.  
• Washable and reusable
• 500mL capacity
• Virtually unbreakable
• Re-closable seal  *
• Self standing 
• Graduated to 500mL every 50mL

“Virtually indestructible beaker that I can send home with my students!” 

-Traci, San Diego

 

• HOW DID BEAKER BAGS COME TO EXIST?

  Roughly three-months into the pandemic, one of our outreach partners, Foss Waterway Seaport, came to us with a challenge: “we need to do science projects with elementary and middle school students, we have a tight budget and the kits can have nothing dangerously breakable”.

  We were initially stumped, but after a few brainstorming sessions we developed the Beaker Bag!
  

  If you want to do kid-friendly experiments and do not want to use glass beakers- this is your Beaker Bag!
  

  Beaker Bags are being used in Algae Research and Supplies’ algae growing and zooplankton kits. They are available at AlgaeResearchSupply.com
