I love the Robots and have used them in my classroom.Now, show your students the Living Plant that Moves When You Tickle It! As a teacher I enjoy sharing gadgets but I even more appreciate sharing my love of science and nature with my children and so can you. This may change the way you and the kids react to plants for ever. Imagine giving your children some seeds. Having them watch them sprout and grow. Then shortly after the second leaves appear they tickle the plant and it moves its branches down and closes its leaves! Give them more than a year round house plant to grow as a gift; give them a learning experience they will never forget. I found information and my growing kits at http://www.TickleMePlant.com These are great for controlled studies.
