Overview

Discover the fascinating world of insects up close with our DIY Insect Pooter Kit! Ideal for young explorers (age 6+ with adult supervision), curious students, and budding entomologists. This hands-on STEM kit enables safe, creative capture and observation of tiny bugs — without harming them.

What’s Included

• Clear container with snap-on lid

• Two tubes (one short “intake” tube, one longer “collection” tube)

• Cotton filter for the intake tube

• Sealant putty/tape for air-tight assembly

• Illustrated step-by-step assembly guide based on classic pooter designs sciencestorepk.dukan.pk+4sciencefocus.com+4eiscolabs.com+4reddit.com+4paksc.org+4sciencefocus.com+4

Key Features & Benefits

• Safe & Effective Design – Use suction to gently collect insects into the chamber; cotton prevents them from reaching your mouth generationspace.co.ke+1eiscolabs.com+1.

• Exploration & Learning – Zoom in on insect anatomy and behavior, especially when paired with a microscope kit sciencestorepk.dukan.pk+10sciencestore.pk+10paksc.org+10.

• STEM Value – Hands-on science that aligns perfectly with Grades 5–8 curriculum on insects, characteristics, and ecosystems .

• Eco-Conscious & Ethical – Encourages catch-and-release; no harm comes to the insects, in line with ethical field study methods.

• Skill Building – Assemble it yourself! Kids learn basic tool use, hand‑eye coordination, and careful attention to detail.

Ideal For

• Children aged 6+ (with adult help) and ages 8–10 (independent assembly) sciencestore.pk+1sciencestore.pk+1

• STEM educators, nature clubs, and science fairs

• Microscope hobbyists seeking specimen capture tools

How It Works

1. Assemble: Drill two small holes, insert tubes, seal with putty/tape, attach cotton filter to intake tube.

2. Catch: Aim the long tube at a tiny insect; gently inhale via the short, filtered tube. The suction draws the bug into the chamber safely.

3. Observe: Use the transparent container to study body segments, legs, wings, antennae, and more.

4. Release: Once observation is over, lift the lid and gently return your insect to its habitat.

This classic manual “pooter” (also called an aspirator) is widely used by scientists—its simple, reliable design inspired in-home versions by National Geographic, BBC, and educational institutions made-in-pakistan.com.pk+10sciencefocus.com+10generationspace.co.ke+10reddit.com+1eiscolabs.com+1paksc.org.
