Copper & Iron Test Kit

Explore the "magic" of chemistry with color-changing chemical reactions students can see! Just right for a budding chemist, this kit allows young scientists to explore the levels of copper and iron in different solutions. This fun, fast, and visually striking experiment involves solutions that change from reddish-orange to blue so you can easily “see” the results of your experiment. We've included test tubes and a graduated cylinder to ensure that you have all the proper chemistry tools at your fingertips. This kit is perfect for a fun introduction to the wonders of chemistry.
