CHEM C1000 - Experiment Manual Sample Pages (PDF)

Systematic Approach to Chemistry Experiments
Bigger and better than ever, Chem C1000 will lead your child through 125 diverse experiments as it lays the groundwork for understanding chemistry, and ultimately builds a strong foundation in this fascinating subject. The 80-page full-color Experiment Manual introduces young scientists to a broad range of chemical phenomena and hands-on laboratory experience.

It uses a "magic tricks" theme as an enticement to master some of the experiments, and I appreciate the declaration that all magic is merely deception and that scientists should not allow themselves to be deceived. Children are even encouraged to share with their audiences why the tricks work. Not all the experiments have wow-appeal, but this is a systematic program that does more than excite; it educates.

Recommended for children 10 and older, but I strongly recommend adult supervision as the kit contains some potentially scary chemicals.

Chem C1000 is the ideal starter chemistry set for ages 10 and up. An 80-page experiment manual and 125 experiments explore everything from acids and bases to electro-chemical reactions in action-packed, hands-on experiments. Excellent quality equipment and chemicals provide the correct tools for serious learning and serious fun, in experiments that can be performed over and over again.

Provides clear instructions for preparing and performing the experiments, offers safety advice, gives explanations for the observed occurrences, and asks and answers questions about the results. Thorough safety precautions and instructions ensure safe experimentation. Professional quality equipment helps you make the most of your chemistry experiments.
