Invisible Science STEM Kit

Growing Bacteria, Glowing Germs and Hidden Messages

The Invisible Science Kit allows young students to observe bacteria growing in a petri dish and offers ways for older students to explore bacteria growth further. It helps young scientists develop an understanding of the scientific method while learning some awesomely gross science. The hands-on method and activity guide is all your child needs to get a kick out of the science fair.

The kit comes with everything you’ll need to conduct eight experiments, take-it-further activities and challenges for up to four children.

What Are Bacteria and Germs?

Bacteria are tiny organisms that surround us everywhere. They’re so small that we can’t see them, but they are in the air, in our bodies, on our skin and everywhere else. While most bacteria aren’t dangerous, some bacteria, known as pathogens, can make you sick. Fortunately, we have antiseptic to keep wounds clean of bacteria, antibacterial soap to keep us away from bad pathogens and antibiotics to help us fight off illnesses.

For Teachers, Parents, Grandparents, and All-around Science Adults

We haven’t forgotten about the new STEM and STEAM initiatives you’ve been hearing about in our schools, bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, (Art), and Math together to make young scientists real thinkers! Look what your young scientists integrated into the Atomic Slime demonstrations.

Other Ways to Make into a Science Fair Project:

Here are some examples of independent variables. Choose only ONE independent variable to test:

Door Knobs – Which door knob has the most bacteria?

Mouths – Which mouth is the cleanest?

Dental Care – How clean does my mouth really get?
