About this item

• 125 HANDS-ON EXPERIMENTS — THE PERFECT FIRST REAL CHEMISTRY SET — Enroll in CHEM C1000 and prepare for a lifetime of fascination with the most essential science. Designed for curious kids ready to graduate from kitchen-science kits, C1000 introduces real laboratory technique through diverse experiments organized into 10 themed chapters — and serves as the foundation for the rest of the acclaimed Thames & Kosmos CHEM series.
• 80-PAGE FULL-COLOR EXPERIMENT MANUAL — Clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions guide young chemists through the science behind everyday materials. Topics include lab setup and safety, secret inks and color magic with litmus, test papers and indicators, the physics of fluids and surface tension, carbon dioxide chemistry, the metals iron and copper, water and its elements, surfactants and cleaners, and a first look at food chemistry.
• WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO — Make invisible inks and reveal them with heat, write secret messages, run a chromatography racetrack to separate marker pigments into their hidden colors, build a mini fire extinguisher, generate electricity from a chemical reaction, dissolve metals through electrochemistry, grow crystals, and split water into hydrogen and oxygen with electrolysis. Every experiment delivers a "wow" moment backed by real scientific explanation.
• PROFESSIONAL-QUALITY LAB EQUIPMENT AND 7 REAL CHEMICALS — A genuine starter lab: glass test tubes, two graduated beakers with lids, funnel, three dropper pipettes, copper wire, rubber stoppers, angled glass tube, test tube brush, measuring spoon, filter paper, 9-volt battery clip, and Z87-rated safety goggles. Included chemicals: sodium carbonate, potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), calcium hydroxide, ammonium iron(III) sulfate, copper(II) sulfate, citric acid, and litmus powder.
• PARENTS' CHOICE GOLD AWARD WINNER — AGES 10+ WITH ADULT SUPERVISION — Designed and manufactured in Germany to the rigorous EN 71-4 safety standard. Thorough safety rules, first-aid guidance, GHS hazard labeling, and waste-disposal instructions are integrated throughout the manual. Adult supervision required.
