Students (and teachers) of all ages are amazed to see a shell being opened and watch a real pearl emerging! It is such a valuable lesson to learn by participating in the entire process. Plus the students get to keep a treasured pearl to show their parents and friends. The oyster opening facilitates the entire educational process, and at the same time, the students are having FUN! Did you know we now have a fantastic lesson plan available for teaching with the oysters if you decide to purchase.
