What is that strange looking thing glowing on your desk? A bioluminescent Bio Orb and PyroDinos? Yinz are telling me those are actually little creatures in there. Like some sort of modern version of Sea Monkeys? Well, don’t mind me if I hang out and watch them for a bit.
The bioluminescent Bio Orb is a fun and beautiful way to learn about science and PyroDinos!
This Bio Orb kit is a great STEM project to get your kids engaged in learning and have a beautiful result. It starts with a hand-blown glass orb shaped micro-aquarium with a silicone stopper that you can set up as desired. Ideal setup areas offer low to medium light, much like a standard houseplant would enjoy. Once your Bio Orb is set up and ready, you can use the included PyroDinos card to redeem your order of living bioluminescent algae! These microalgae must be opened within 24 hours of arrival, so please ensure you plan accordingly.
These living sea plants naturally clean the air by removing CO2 and toxins and giving back oxygen. Scientists estimate that these microalgae provide more than half the air we breathe in the world! What a great way to teach your kids about plants and their effect on the environment. Your PyroDinos include care instructions as well.
Best of all, the Bio Orb becomes spectacular when swirled at night. After dark (and it really won’t work before it’s dark) gently swirl the orb and watch the bioluminescent dinoflagellates light up! They glow a magical blue green color for an amazing effect.
The Bio Orb makes a great gift for any child that has a desire to learn about science and the world around them. Makes a great Christmas or birthday present! Since it ships without live animals, you don’t have to worry about them until you’re ready, making it an ideal gift giving situation.
