Create your own self sufficient and sustainable world. Eco Dome is uniquely designed to mimic real world land systems, living systems, and atmospheric effects. There is no science kit like it in the world - except the world itself. Explore the science of Global Warming, Weather Patterns, Micro Climates and Linkable environments. Learn more about our environment and better understand why our fragile world is such a hot topic everywhere.

Learn how light, the earth, plants, water and air are all linked in a cycle that sustains life on Earth. Model the greenhouse effect, create rainstorms, and see updrafts and downdrafts. Create micro climates and see the water cycle at work.

Grow an amazing range of plants in different microhabitats. Track temperature changes, water movements, and plant growth rates with special measuring tools.

Optionally, you can link Eco Dome with other Wildscience nature systems (sold separately). Plant a jungle or exotic farmlands and link to Wildscience Ant Mines. See ants exploring the Eco Dome and carrying food back to their nests through the interlink tubes. Open the Eco Dome ports for access for exciting tissue culture, planting and growing experiments.

Close the system ports on a carefully balanced 'colony' of plants, animals and water. Watch the evolution of the 'Biosphere' over months as the populations grow and wane. It's like living in an interstellar spaceship on a thousand year journey.
