Kosmos KOO Living Planet 637255

Create oceans, shape poles, and let grasses sprout – children aged 8 to 12 design their own palm-sized planet and bring it to life. What conditions must exist for life to emerge? How do I create my own atmosphere with the globe greenhouse? Through exciting experiments with the mini-planet, children learn about the processes behind day and night boundaries, seasons, and climate zones. To make their little mini-planet a real eye-catcher and to visualize the lighting and climate zones even better, the planet can be decorated with small houses, trees, and mountains. With the KOSMOS experiment kit "Living Planet," children create a second, small Earth and playfully discover the fundamentals of life on the green planet.

Bring a mini-planet to life! The children shape a ball of soil, onto which they attach poles and oceans made of plaster. They quickly hang it in the globe atmosphere, and soon green sprouts on the planet. All that's missing are the decorations like small houses, mountains, and trees, which will later assist during experiments, and then it truly comes alive! The instructions explain step by step: Where are the poles on a planet and why? What is an atmosphere needed for, and what is the greenhouse effect? How can life even emerge on a planet? Exciting experiments and informative texts about day and night rhythms, Earth's rotation, weather, and climate await the children. Geography comes to life!.
