Connect the adventures of Zack and Bridget to a great hands-on science activity using our growing alligators and classroom activity guide. Students predict what will happen when you soak the alligator in water. Will it grow like Bridget did? Yes!!! When fully grown, our alligator will grow from 4 inches to an amazing 16 inches long and will shrink back to its original key chain size when left to dry out. The activity guide is packed with ideas to help you build the science & literature connection.

What's included?

The kit comes with the Zack Goes to School book, 2 large growing alligators, and an activity guide.

How does it work?

The growing gators are really (don't tell anyone) made with superabsorbent polymers designed to absorb more than 150 times their weight in water! Watch them grow before your eyes and learn about these super-thirsty polymers along the way.
