This one moves like an animal!
In the TickleMe Plant Greenhouse you can grow a pet like plant that closes its leaves one by one or all at once when you Tickled It. Great for science experiments and a fun way to introduce kids to wonder of nature, science and gardening

They are the closest that I could find. I wish that I could use them in my class but alas, I work with munchkins too young for these toys. http://www.amazon.com/Safari-Megatoob-Dawn-The-Dinos/dp/B000HSVBCG Hope this helps.

I have it, but haven’t read it yet. From the same guy who wrote the chemistry book you recommend.
