Can a plant break through an obstacle? With the 4M Plant Labyrinth Kit, watch sprouts make their way to the light through confusing paths and roots grow inside a clear container of soil. The set will be appreciated by young science lovers from 8 years old.
The plant maze model consists of three main components: a soil container, a growing chamber, and a water tank. Assemble a research model from the details of the set and conduct several experiments with legumes. They can be found in the supermarket.
With the 4M Plant Labyrinth Research Kit, a child will learn what it's like to be a scientist. Day by day, she will watch with interest as the seedlings planted by her are pulled out and paved the way for sunlight. In practice, children will get acquainted with botany and understand how the plant world is arranged. The knowledge obtained through research will be well remembered and will be the basis for further study of science.
Experiments require more than one day of work and observations, accuracy. Therefore, classes with the set develop patience, accuracy, attentiveness and ability to finish the work started. Interaction with real plants fosters a sense of responsibility and respect for the living world of nature.
The set is suitable for visual study of natural sciences and botany, STEAM-education courses.
Includes instructions with diagrams, descriptions and explanations of experiments, as well as interesting facts. Soil and beans are not included.
The set received 6 awards at specialized exhibitions in Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, USA from 2013 to 2016.

What research is available with the set
Experiment 1: growing and observation
See how the seeds germinate and develop its root system. Learn from the cognitive instructions why the shoots are stretched upwards and the roots are directed downwards.
Experiment 2: A Maze for Plants
Assemble the maze and watch the nimble sprouts break through the walls and find their way to the light. How they do it, the instructions will tell.
Experiment 3: Bean Race
Have a real bean race. Find out which sprout is most likely to come to the finish line and see the sun.
Experiment 4: effects of acid rain
Use the same scheme as in the first experiment (with one sprout on each side of the soil container). Every day, add a little water on one side of the soil and vinegar solution on the other side. Which plant grows best?
You can also arrange other experiments, such as carrot seeds, potato shoots, bulbs, to see the differences in the development of roots and shoots of different plants.
What phenomena do experiments show
Roots grow down and shoots & ndash; up due to an effect called geotropism. This means that the root and sprout can feel the Earth's gravity. Plants are always looking for sunlight to continue growing. Light penetrates the maze from above and the plants reach out to it. This effect is called phototropism. On the side where there is more light, the stem grows faster.
A plant watered with a solution of vinegar grows worse because the acid harms it. Here's what happens in nature during acid rain. It occurs when water in the atmosphere combines with polluting gases from power plants and cars, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
