Living Planet

Bring your own mini-planet to life! Children form a ball of earth and then create poles and oceans from plaster. Quickly place (hang) it in the sphere-atmosphere and soon greenery will sprout on the planet. All that's left are small houses, mountains, and trees to be inserted as decorative elements and later aid in experimentation.
The instructions of the KOSMOS experiment kit explain step by step: Where are poles on a planet and why? Why does a planet need an atmosphere and how does it work? How can life even originate on a planet? Exciting experiments and informative texts about day and night rhythms, Earth's rotation, water, and oxygen on Earth await children between eight and twelve years old. Geography comes alive!
