Additional info: Carolina Biological Supply Company began in 1927 when Thomas E. Powell, Jr., an Elon College professor who collected natural specimens for his class, discovered that he could sell surplus items to other teachers and professors. Dr. Powell soon realized that a team approach, with his company providing the centralized collection and distribution of educational materials, would free teachers to make better use of their time in the classroom and laboratory. Eventually, the company also made games for classroom learning, beginning in the 1970s.

Other Carolina Biological Supply Company games include : "Blood Flow", "Cell Game", "Energy Quest", and "Pollution".
