Step 1. Order your
kit. We'll
mail your touch tank, teaching guides, and everything you need to
prepare for the arrival of your live plants and animals.
Step 2. Schedule
delivery. Call
us when you decide the date of your tidepool activity. We'll make
sure your live plants and animals arrive on the day before. We need
only 2 week's notice.
Step 3. Prepare.
Before
the plants and animals arrive you need to prepare your touch tank.
IT'S EASY - open the box, remove the
styrofoam cooler and the touchtank, mix the pre-measured sea salts
with spring water, and put the touch tank on ice in the styrofoam
box. You're ready!
Step 4. Educate
and thrill! Use
your kit for exciting hands-on lessons.
Step 5. Return life
to the sea! Buy
our Return to the Sea package, call FEDEX
and waive goodbye to your animals. You will know they are bound
for their rightful home.

 Nothing
brings the excitement of marine biology to the classroom better
than the experience of observing and handling live plants and
animals. Our Live

designed to be used for short-term studies.
We have found that these kits become an anticipated highlight
of your students' year of science discoveries. Likewise, teachers
appreciate the ease of this focused hands-on teaching tool.

to your classroom! Our kits are hands-on, easy to use and come
with a portable touchtank. You also receive detailed species descriptions,
suggested teaching topics, and creative student activities. K-4
teachers commonly choose our
Down By The Sea Kit
specialized to excite and educate elementary students.
The Gulf
of Maine Kit typifies the life in an actual Maine
coast tidepool and is perfect for classroom activities or for
detailed study in lab sessions. It is a favorite for upper level

were originally collected. This gesture of stewardship is a way
for our company, the students, and their teachers to minimize
the effects of educational studies on the live marine specimens.
