Skilcraft Chemlab 500 : 74552

Description

Designed by teachers, this ideal first chemistry set will put your kid on the road to a Nobel Prize. The set includes two pipettes, two capped test tubes, a 9-volt battery connector, litmus paper, and 10-gram bottles of cobalt chloride, ferric ammonium sulfate, and five other key ingredients. This is not a huge collection, but it is enhanced by a detailed 50-page guide to dozens of experiments. The guide isn't just an "add this and it'll fizz" pamphlet; experiments come out of and lead to detailed explanations of atomic structure, the nature of gases and polymers, and many other subjects. A reorder form for chemicals and other supplies is included. --Richard Farr
