BioGlo gives kids a truly exciting way to experience science firsthand! The sleek, hourglass-shaped BioGlo aquarium holds hundreds of tiny microbes called dinoflagellates (a.k.a. dinos). During the day, the dinos absorb indirect sunlight. At night, they emit a mysterious blue glow when shaken, evincing a beautiful process called bioluminescence, the emission of light by living organisms! In addition to bioluminescence, the included educational booklet provides fascinating details on a variety of related topics: dinos in the ocean deep, the dino life cycle, circadian rhythms, the scientific method, and more! The booklet also outlines several experiments for youngsters to perform along with all the information they need to design and implement countless experiments of their own making. The BioGlo Bioluminescent Aquarium provides children with a fascinating, ongoing learning adventure in which they are the scientists!
