Families with children who are discovering chemistry in school, and are fascinated by what happens when chemicals and compounds combine, will be excited when they see this science kit that allows you to bring the learning home. Inside the appealing boxed set you’ll find a decent assortment of materials to experiment with. From Calcium Chloride to sodium tetraborate, tartaric acid to litmus powder there’s plenty to explore and tinker with. You may need to supplement some materials as they get used up but that is to be expected. The included manual offers “recipes” for several different experiments. We discovered that not every experiment worked as advertised. For some that was a real downer, for others, it was all part of the educational/scientific process and a positive. Overall the experiments proved to be engaging and intriguing.
