Description
Kick off a chain reaction of fun-filled
experiments with this introductory chemistry
set designed specifically for young kids.
Junior chemists can safely explore simple
chemistry using the tools in this kit and
common household substances from the
kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room.
Learn how to use basic chemistry
equipment such as filters, test tubes, pipettes,
and measuring spoons, and beakers. Make
your own test tube racks out of plaster and
learn about the chemical reaction that formed
them.
Conduct experiments to identify different
chemicals using reactions, heat, evaporation,
and crystallization. Examine the composition
of inks and dyes with chromatography
experiments, where colors magically separate
from one another on a filter paper disk.
Explore the properties of water, soaps, and
oils.
Experiment with acids and bases using
indicators (pH strips and cabbage juice)
to identify them. Make fizzy reactions with
acids and bases to dissolve shells and inflate
balloons. Discover the invisible gas carbon
dioxide and its very visible effects.
The full-color, 48-page manual guides
inquisitive young chemists and their adult
supervisors through safely conducting each of
the 25 experiments.
