Most people think about hatching chicken eggs when they hear the word incubator, but the device can be used for other scientific and medical applications. An incubator made from an aquarium will keep the heat and humidity at the proper level to grow bacterial cultures, hatch eggs and keep the hatchlings at the proper temperature, or provide suitable growing conditions and recuperation benefits for plants and animals.
