Complete Introduction to Chemistry Kit

Give your kids an excellent chemistry foundation with this kit full of real lab equipment and directions for 27 lab experiments you can actually do at home, whatever your science background!

We've heard that the best way to learn science is through hands-on experimentation; this kit was created specifically to make it easy for busy parents to help their kids do just that. No need to try to round up a bunch of costly items or spend hours preparing lessons. Aside from common household items, this kit includes everything you'll need: chemicals, protective safety equipment, beakers & flasks, other lab equipment, and instructions & explanations for 27 essential experiments.

Use this kit to explore states of matter, physical properties (like density), acids & bases, polymerization, precipitation, physical & chemical reactions, electrochemistry, solubility, chromatography, endothermic & exothermic reactions and more.
