Heritage Ranch Riddle Adventure Kit
Heritage Ranch Riddle Excavation Adventure Kit
The family records are scattered. The patterns are puzzling. The ranch needs answers.
Heritage Ranch Riddle turns a ranch full of plants and animals into an investigation of traits, variation, and growing conditions.
Kids begin with a six-lesson online science adventure. Compare parent and offspring records, look for differences within a species, and investigate how the environment can influence traits. Separate inherited characteristics from acquired changes and learned behaviors using evidence.
Then comes the excavation finale. Open the kit to uncover six assorted geological specimens, compare their features, and match each find to one of six specimen Discovery Cards. After the discoveries have been identified, open the sealed Gemling Mystery Mix blind bag to reveal one surprise collectible Gemling.
Enjoy the six-compartment dig as one big discovery experience or save compartments for smaller celebrations after lessons. Every theme uses the same geological specimen collection. Assortments vary and are not selected to match the online lesson topics.
