This size is perfect for a 30 minute class with plenty of bones!

Extra fun for the students to glue the bones on the chart and take them home!
This is a favorite experiment with our review team :)
Some extra information about our Crayfish!
The preserved crayfish is originally prepared using formaldehyde. After preservation,
the specimen is flushed and then stored in Nebanol (non-toxic solution).
Gloves are not required, but students may request them.
Whether you use gloves or not, remind the students not to touch their eyes,
nose or mouth during the experiment.
Store at normal room temperature for 6-9 months in original packaging.
NOTE: The crayfish are for a viewing experiment only.

FAQ's
1. Do you offer an option for rotating classes?
Yes, we do! If you have more than one class rotating out of the same room or have tutors sharing supplies, you need to purchase 1 Complete Classroom Box for the first class and 1 Consumable Box for each additional class.
Example: If you have 3 classes rotating supplies, you will need 1 Complete Box and 2 Consumable Boxes.
2. Do you offer the Tutor Training Box this year?
Yes, we do! See it here.This is a highly requested item that allows the tutors to do the experiments ahead of time, using the same supplies included in their classroom boxes.
Note: If you are completing foundations at home, the tutor training box is perfect for 1-2 students.
3. How do I know the experiments work?
We conduct all of the experiments in house, and have a team of CC Directors and Tutors that also test the supplies to ensure accuracy and success.
4. Are the worksheets and lesson plans included in my packet?
Yes, we include PDF downloads for weeks 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 18, 20, 22, and 23.
The printable PDF's are sent to your email. Print as needed for your students. Please don't share outside your campus.
5. What if we have questions about the experiments?
Please contact us if you need help with the supplies :) We are happy to help.
6. Why don't you include crayons, markers, pencils etc...?
This is a feedback requested change.
Campuses usually have these items on hand, so it was not necessary to include them in your packets.
Note: You can purchase these a-la-carte in our store.
7. Do you provide the optional dissection tools to use with the crayfish?
8. What is not included? See the Campus Provided List above.
