## Overview

The Discovery Prehistoric Sea Creatures STEM Kit allows kids aged 12 and up to create a mini aquarium and nurture brine shrimp, offering a unique blend of science, history, and hands-on learning. With all necessary materials included, this kit promotes observation skills and an understanding of ancient ecosystems.

## Description

With the Discovery Prehistoric Sea Creatures set, you can create an ecosystem for 220-million-year-old creatures! First, set up your aquarium — tape the background insert to the back of the tank to set the prehistoric scene and find a safe space to keep it. Then, pour in the bag of eggs from creatures with ancient origins and watch them hatch — just add water! In just a few days, your sea creatures will come alive — watch them swim around the aquarium and thrive! Raise and nurture these prehistoric wonders by feeding them the included sea creature food once every two days. Within 2 weeks, your prehistoric sea creatures will be fully grown, and they can even start laying eggs! Keep track of your prehistoric sea creature’s growth by creating a chart in a journal — if maintained properly, your sea creatures can live for months! This STEM kit is perfect for budding scientists ages 8 years and up who want to learn more about biology and ancient life forms!

    Prehistoric dinosaurs living creatures fun and a learing experience
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on 16 December 2023*

This is the 2023 version of sea monkeys. I enjoyed giving this to our grandson as a great learning gift which is fun for adults and children alike. Learning toys are always valued in our family and for our young scientist this was right uo his alley. Shipping was fast and the present was exactly what he wanted. Great buy and great priced thank you

    Thought I was buying triops, just got more sea monkeys — waste of time and money
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on 5 November 2023*

The little tank it came with was just the right size and dimensions, the included sand was a pleasant surprise as it was just the right amount and a good grain size for these animals, AND the eggs all hatched quickly — but they were entirely the wrong animal! This kit advertises itself as containing triops or tadpole shrimp, but the included eggs are for artemia brine shrimp, better known as sea monkeys, which is INCREDIBLY disappointing as the entire reason I chose this kit over a few other triops kits was because the size and shape of the habitat provided lends itself very well to the bottom-feeding habits of triops and the need to totally dry out their substrate in between generations, rather than more active filter feeders like artemia who benefit from a larger and stable volume of water. the low and wide shape means constant water loss from evaporation, and with the addition of saltwater, it means that EVERYTHING in the vicinity of your tank will be covered in salt creep and potentially ruined by corrosion and rust if there are any metal components nearby. sure, the enclosure can be emptied and reused, but I’m pretty bummed out as the included sand from the kit will have to be trashed due to the high levels of salt that could kill any future triops and their eggs without thorough rinsing — and by that point, it’s far more effort than it’s worth just to save a handful of sand.I’m incredibly disappointed as this kit absolutely did contain triops eggs in the past, so clearly a substitution was made (for what reason? who knows) without even bothering to remove the triops photos from the box, which on top of being false advertising is just plain lazy.If you don’t particularly care about what kind of animal you’re hatching, the kit is okay I suppose — I really think artemia are better suited to vertical containers rather than a flat tray like this one, but they’re hatching and growing well regardless so it seems to work alright. If you actually want triops, though, this kit really isn’t even worth bothering with — just buy something else.

    They actually grew!
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in the United States on 11 January 2022*

I honestly thought this wasn’t going to work but it did!! However it does say 5 mins set up but it isn’t 5 mins if you don’t have DISTILLED WATER!!! You have to have distilled water in order for them to grow. The way I distilled water was let some water boil and let it cool down to the 80 degree mark that was written in the instructions. They are something that needs to be maintained everyday meaning by adding water because the water evaporates from the heat lamp and making sure your cleaning the water by scooping out the top layer for the shrimps so they do not get sick. But they are looking amazing!! If you won’t be able to check on them everyday and maintain everyday it may not be the best choice to get the item
