Bacteria Science Kit Petri Dishes with Agar and Swabs | Top Science Fair Project Bacteria Growing Kit | Prepoured LB-Agar Plates and Cotton Swabs | STEM for Kids Aged 6 7 8 9 10 Girls Boys Gifts

Many homeschool science curriculums have kids make agar plates form scratch. Having make thousands of them in my university and work life, I don't think its a useful skill. Knowing HOW they are made manually is important, but I don't see value in making the actual plates. So, we read over the manual method and supplement with these plates. They are sterile and exactly what is needed. We were able to test lots of surfaces and discuss bacterial diversity and that "lots" of bacteria does not actually mean they are harmful.

Good quality and fast shipping.

You’re better off making your own dishes. These are flimsy

The media could not be loaded.  Dalos dream bacteria science kit is great for beginners to learn.. Inexpensive with quality. 10 plates, 15 swabs in pouches, 2 pipette and two tubes. Experiment with life. Discover bacteria and have fun.

I bought two packs of these for my kid's science project. I got to them as soon as they were delivered, but they arrived almost liquified. The agar was slipping off the base. I left them until we had a weekend to check them out and see if anything was usable. The moisture was leaking through the bags and none of the plates had a complete layer of agar. Of course I'm two days past the return date. If these can't withstand shipping during various seasons, why are they for sale. Complete waste of money.

I bought a testing kit for some experiments at home. The package arrived as described and the petri dishes were triple shrink wrapped, which was a nice touch. However, I encountered a problem when the agar started melting after only 18 hours of inoculation. I had placed the dishes upside down in a consistent 82° environment, but nothing could grow because after 36 hours, everything had melted.Updated: After 52 hours, I have some expected bacterial growth. A lot of the liquid was moisture buildup and NOT AGAR MELTING.I would recommend this kit!

They must work . . . one was already growing bacteria

I brought to elementary school science class to teach kids importance of keeping hands clean. We used for bacteria cultures. Agar worked so well, we were able to culture bacteria’s in their hands. Plastic pretties so light kids can easily handle. Kit insert has many other experiment ideas if you feel short on that. There were plenty of material in it to get culture around the class. All enjoyed and learned, mission accomplished!
