Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am looking for something like this. Has anyone ever used one of these? Did it work?

Were you able to find it a brick and mortar store as opposed to online? If so, which one?

Thanks!

We have the Teaching Tank which can be used for doing similar seed germination and growth veiwing. I got mine online so don't know of real life stores that would have them. You can also do this easily with a large glass jar. Just plant the seeds next to the glass.

I got one from our local teacher supply store and had NO luck with it . I would recommend the glass jar method- it worked much better (and cost much less!)...

I have one and did not find it effective.

We took an old 2-liter bottle, laid it horizontally, cut into the side and made our own viewing of roots. We grew a sunflower that grew to 6 feet tall and we got to see how the roots spread.

Hope that helps!
