Thames & Kosmos STEM Chemistry Experiment Kit 8 years+, plastic, 27 experiments

The Thames & Kosmos Chemistry Experiments STEM kit is an introductory chemistry set designed specifically for children. Junior chemists can safely explore basic chemistry using the tools in this set along with common household substances found in the kitchen and bathroom. The kit guides them step-by-step through the 27 experiments described in the included color manual, offering a concrete and practical introduction to the world of chemical reactions.

Children will learn how to use basic equipment, such as filters, test tubes, pipettes, measuring spoons, and beakers. They will create their own plaster test tube racks and learn about the chemical reaction that forms them. They will perform experiments to identify different chemical substances using reactions, heat, evaporation, and crystallization, thereby practicing observation and the scientific method.

Using chromatography experiments, children will examine the composition of inks and dyes, observing how colors separate from one another on a filter paper disc. They will explore the properties of water, soaps, and oils. They can create effervescent reactions with acids and bases to dissolve seashells and extinguish candles, then discover carbon dioxide, an invisible gas, and its very visible effects.

The color manual guides curious young chemists and their adult supervisors in safely performing each of the 27 experiments. The product is made of plastic. Read the instructions before use, follow them, and keep them for reference. Produced in Germany for Thames & Kosmos, England.
