    Sponges are sessile filter feeders that thrive across the world's oceans. First appearing nearly 600 million years ago, sponges are the earliest complex lifeforms on the planet.

It was recovered on private land in Tennessee and dates to the Silurian Period over 419,000,000 years ago.

    WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

    You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

    We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

    With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

    Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
