Grades 5–12. For 30 students working in small groups. Now your class can observe the physiological changes of a living organism's internal anatomy—without having to dissect it! Introduce middle school and high school students to the exciting Casper Fish™—a laboratory-reared transparent zebra fish.

Normal-type zebra fish are also included so the class can make comparisons between the 2 strains. Kit requires use of an already established aquarium (not included).
