Then it's time to push down on the plungers and watch as the water flows through the tubes and into the main chamber to reach the Reactor Pod and start the reaction! This crazy creature twist on the classic toy volcano turns opening your Beaker Creatures pods into a fun science experiment - drop the included Reactor Pod into the volcano, add water, and trigger the bubbling reaction! This real working kids' experiment lab set helps your little scientists build STEM skills with fun experiments inspired by biology, chemistry, and astronomy. For reference, even with the plastic drip tray from the box underneath the Super Lab, it made a mess.

The pack includes a classification card for each creature to identify them and two mini-posters with science facts and fun images to extend the learning. The Reactor Pods fizz with quite a bit of energy, although we did notice that the amount of fizzing seemed dictated by the color, with certain color pods giving off a more energetic reaction than others.Beaker creatures lab gear pairs with all beaker creatures lab sets (including the liquid REACTOR Super lab, whirling wave REACTOR, and magnification chamber) as well as other science experiment sets. This is a small plastic container which can house one or two Beaker Creatures with a built-in magnifier in the “glass” at the top.

Set contains all a young scientist needs to get going with glowing: test tube with lid, beaker, flask, hand crank, mixing attachments, centrifuge attachment, full colour activity guide, glow light with base, 2 Monsterglows Reactor Pods, and 3 x AG13 batteries. First we popped a Beaker Creature Reactor Pod in the plastic beaker then pushed down the plungers that we had pre-filled with water to fill the beaker. Beaker Creatures combine the amazement of learning through science with the anticipation of surprise collectibles. After our first reaction, as seen in the video below, I was spotting purple flecks up my kitchen tiles.Finally, you fit your two filled Hydroplungers into the columns at the rear of the Super Lab and you’re ready to go. I love the idea of the amazing science experiments, anything that helps to make learning fun is a bonus.
