The Rattlesnake Super Lab uses a firm gelatin-like compound to provide the realistic experience of scientific dissection without harming a real snake. The rattlesnake is the biggest kit in the Dissect-It line as it comes with 35 bones and organs to dissect and a surprise skeleton inside the stomach! Each kit also comes with a learning guide, a work table, 4 tools, and 2 refill mixes so you can do it again and again!
Evaluation comments:
“Great packaging and marketing – the snake is completely visible and looks very interesting, creepy and fun.”
“My kids love slime – and this is essentially a snake skeleton covered in a jello slime substance. It’s creepy and gooey and messy – and my kids loved it. All three of them wanted to participate in the dissection. And its like a bonus to find another skeleton in the snake’s stomach…!”
“I did appreciate that refill mixes are included.”
“Educational and fascinating.”
“Background information is provided about reptiles, rattlesnakes (they can live 10-20 years!) as well as many details about their anatomy (they have large, curved fangs to hook into their prey when they bite). The information is interesting and easy to read and understand. There are suggestions of what to do when hiking and coming across a rattlesnake (avoid sudden movements and freeze in place, they prefer to flee than fight).”
“I loved that all three of my kids of varying ages were excited to play with this kit and that it is educational. The dissection book is an excellent add on as it really enhances the learning.”
“My 9-year-old son enjoyed the book and learning about rattlesnakes, whereas my 7 and 3 year old were more into the slime and “dissection”. Overall, a win-win for everyone.”
