Choice Chamber 180mm – Eisco [80734]

The Eisco 180mm Choice Chamber is a versatile and durable piece of equipment designed to help students explore animal behaviour, ecological preferences, and environmental responses in a controlled setting. Built with an ABS solid blue base to minimise light interference and a transparent lid with a 15mm central access hole, this chamber allows easy introduction of live specimens while ensuring clear visibility during observations.

The chamber is divided into four equal quarters, enabling teachers and students to create different environmental conditions such as light vs. dark or wet vs. dry within a single apparatus. This makes it ideal for studying behavioural responses including phototaxis, hydrotaxis, and habitat preference. Supplied accessories include two blackout quarter pieces for controlled lighting experiments and a mesh divider to allow moisture to pass through without letting specimens move between sections.

Ideal for School Science Lessons & Practical Investigations

Perfect for KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level Biology, this 180mm Choice Chamber supports hands‑on learning and enables students to investigate how small invertebrates respond to changes in their environment. It is widely used in lessons focusing on animal behaviour, ecology, adaptation, and fieldwork skills.

• Helps students explore behavioural responses such as movement towards light or moisture
• Ideal for isopods, woodlice, insects, and small terrestrial organisms
• Supports experiments on habitat choice and ecological preference
• Excellent for controlled investigations and developing practical scientific skills
• Encourages independent enquiry and group-based learning

Robust, easy to use, and designed for reliable classroom performance, the Eisco Choice Chamber is an essential resource for teaching behavioural and ecological concepts in school science laboratories.
