The younger set is taking over the lab. This Smithsonian kit is safer and more efficient than the traditional chemistry set. The 55-page instruction book contains more than 60 experiments and includes data tables for recording observations.
Experiments range from testing the solubility of antacids to making an electrolyte detector.
Safety precautions are a top concern, with frequent reminders to wear goggles and work with adult supervision. Specially designed safety caps on chemical containers are sometimes difficult to penetrate with plastic pipettes. Here's a real chemistry set in its own durable carrying case. The kit includes its own safety goggles as well as dozens of chemicals and metals for experimentation. Also included are the real chemist's tools young experimenters will need to perform many experiments.
