Luke's SpaceTech, New Media, Inappropriate Stuff for Kids, Spurs and other assorted utterings June 25 Grow your own Bacteria KitThe Inappropriate Stuff for Kids train rolls in to town once more with the "Grow your own Bacteria Kit"

"With the Bacteria Growth Science Kit, your kids will not only learn how to grow bacteria, but they’ll learn how to experiment on the microscopic monsters. Maybe they’ll test how temperature affects bacteria growth – or maybe UV light or antibiotics. Maybe they’ll decide not to experiment and just learn about how bacteria get busy with their bad selves. Whichever path they choose, the Bacteria Growth Science Kit will lead them towards knowledge"
