Kosmos Experiment Kit - Chemistry Kit

Start a chain reaction from 25 fun experiments with the chemistry set Thames & Kosmos for beginners, designed specially for young children. Young chemists can safely explore the basics of chemistry using the tools in this kit and ordinary household substances from the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room.

Learn how to use basic chemical equipment, such as filters, test tubes, pipettes, measuring spoons and bottles. Make your own test tube holders from plaster and learn about the chemical reaction that forms them.

Carry out experiments to identify various chemicals, using reactions, heat, evaporation and crystallisation. Examine the composition of inks and paints with chromatography experiments, in which colours magically separate from one another on a disc of filter paper. Investigate the properties of water, soap and fats. Experiment with acids and bases, using indicators (pH strips and red cabbage juice) to identify them. Carry out fizzing reactions between acids and bases to dissolve coverings and blow up balloons. Discover the invisible gas carbon dioxide and its quite visible effects.

The full-colour 48-page instruction booklet in Bulgarian guides curious young chemists and their adult helpers through safely carrying out each of the 25 experiments.

The set is suitable for beginner chemists aged 8 and over.
