Animal set, 7 specimens
This set of seven medium-sized preserved specimens is an economical way to learn about and compare the anatomy of several animals. The 7 specimens include grass frog (3"+), earthworm (6-8"), Lubber grasshopper, crayfish (3-4"), clam (3-4"), perch (5-7") and starfish (3-5"). None of these specimens are injected. Packaged together in one bag.
Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which can be stored almost indefinitely. We recommend that you use specimens within one year of purchase to ensure the best tissue quality. Specimen discoloration over time is normal and does not indicate decay.
Store your specimens at normal room temperature--refrigeration is not required. Storage in attics or garages at high temperatures will damage the specimens. Once opened, specimens can be resealed in a Zip-lock bag to prevent them from drying out for later use.
Note: This item only ships to the 50 US states with Economy, Ground or Express shipping options.

Had the ones we needed for our Apologia Biology plus a couple extras to have fun with. - Saturday, December 22, 2012 Really cool and good sizedReviewed By: Julia Miller These were much larger than I thought they would be, especially the grasshopper. I cannot wait to use them in the spring! - Sunday, December 09, 2012 Perfect for teaching both basic & advanced zoologyReviewed By: Elizabeth Great find. Good quality. The right variety of animal specimens. - Tuesday, August 07, 2012 Excellent!Reviewed By: Anna Moore This specimen kit is excellent! The price is great & the specimens are perfect for our homeschool program (Life Science & Biology). The price was so reasonable I was able to purchase two kits, allowing me the fun of going through dissections with both of our sons! - Friday, March 30, 2012 Great Variety Reviewed By: Vanessa Smeltzer I love this kit. I teach an animal science class for elementary home school students and this kit was perfect. I love the variety of animals included and the price is awesome. They are having a blast getting to explore the anatomy of different phylums of animals. We opened the kite immediately and seperated the animals into individual ziplocs. My only complaint would be that our grasshopper was missing several legs and they were laying in the bottom of the bag. But overall, this kit is fabulous for the price.

Good Quality
Reviewed By: Jill
I have ordered this set from Home Science Tools for several years. I have used it in my Christian School Biology classes and home school Biology classes. I have always found the specimens to be very good (even the year that I ended up storing them for 12 months before I used them). Home Science Tools has always provided very good prices along with great and quick service.

Good Variety
Reviewed By: Jodi
I chose this product for its good variety and value. The specimens are good-sized and have minimal odor. Either order from Home Science Tools or check out from your local library the book "How to Dissect". It is the perfect companion to this product.

Specimens
Reviewed By: Reuben Rubio
The specimens were a little too small and a little too dry. We would recommend 2-3" larger all around. [Home Science Tools adds: If your specimens are dried out, please call us at 800-860-6272.]
