Plastic Pooter
Product code: B8A24995
Product Description
A durable plastic container with a screw cap, with safety filter.
An essential resource for any class or young person investigating living things. They are purposely designed to carry out scientific enquiry outdoors as it allows children to collect of insects (minibeasts) in a hands-on way. Children can deposit the mini organisms safely and without harm into the viewing chamber. The viewing chamber has been specially designed not to be perfectly round. Bugs will keep on walking until they find a corner or crevice to hide in and once they are still, children will find it much easier to observe them.
What is a Pooter?
The design of the Pooter consists of a small, reusable jar with a green lid containing two holes; one of which has a fine mesh covering. Two lengths of tubing are supplied; one short green and the other longer clear. The short green length of tubing is inserted into the meshed hole and is sucked by the user; the end of the clear tube is placed carefully over the specimen to be collected which then gets drawn into the chamber. The mesh covering stops the specimen from being accidentally drawn into the child's mouth. The tubing can be easily washed between uses.
- Chamber dimensions: 70mm high x 54mm diameter
