Which creature will you discover? Turn your kids' love of collectible toys into a real-world science adventure with the Beaker Creatures Reactor Pod 2-Pack from Learning Resources. Within each mysterious pod lurks one of 35 Beaker Creatures, tiny alien travelers from five distant planets who've come to Earth in search of learning fun. Extract your creature from the Reactor Pod, then use the included classification card to observe their characteristics and identify their name and family. You may even discover one of five limited-edition 24-Carat Creatures! Beaker Creatures Reactor Pod collectibles each come with a two-sided mini-poster: one side features a quiz filled with amazing real-world science facts, and the other features fun images of the creatures at play that combine to form a larger poster.

Part collectible creature, part science activity, Beaker Creatures are hidden inside "Reactor Pods" that fizz and bubble when dropped in water. When the bubbling subsides, you'll find a mysterious floating capsule in the foam. Open it up to discover a crazy little creature from a distant planet, then identify it with the included chart. Beaker Creatures Pods are available in single packs, 2-packs or 6-packs and make great stocking stuffers! While they can be used on their own, several lab activity sets include more lab tools with suggested lab activities after the creatures are unveiled.
