Excellent Introductory Kit . This was a Christmas present for a 10 year old. The set is well laid out, the supplies well marked, and the containers of the materials are very well designed (always a concern with a chemistry set). The instructions are clear, and work well from introductory to more complex. The experiments are fun, and even introduce a little "magic" which is cool. This is a real chemistry set, and gives kids the feel that they are doing real experiments (which they are) and not just playing. Educationally, the set is very good at introducing concepts in the context of each experiment. It may seem kind of expensive for a beginner kit, but it is a high quality kit. When you compare it to the marginally less expensive "kiddie kits" that are out there, it's worth it.
COMPLAINTS (all minor): The very first experiments require making a solution that needs to rest for a day, so be prepared for that. Hopefully it will reinforce to your kids the reality that this is real science. I was a little disappointed that there were some things you will want that aren't part of the kit. For example denatured alcohol isn't usually part of your normal household supplies (isopropyl is not denatured alcohol). These are considerately labeled in the manual, however. The test tube stand is a little shallow to hold test tubes firmly, but it holds them well enough.

CHEM C1000: Chemistry Experiment Kit for Beginners Reviews
Great fun for dad and son . Dad says he got this for our son (he is 8), but he is having as much fun or more. They are learning a lot and were able to use some of the chemicals for a science fair project. Amazon has the best price on this kit and it is worth the price because there are lots of experiments to do. We have purchased many kits for 20-30 dollars and they're done in a day. There are still a lot more experiments to try on this one and the educational value is much better than a less expensive kit. Worth the money...

CHEM C1000: Chemistry Experiment Kit for Beginners Opinions
Be aware: requires at least 15 items not included in kit . I ordered this chemistry set for a 13 year old boy from a financially-challenged family. I was glad that I opened the box and read the detailed guidebook before I gave it to him, because there were many items required to perform the experiments that are not included in the box, and some of them are not even things that I keep in my own home. If you give this as a gift be sure to read the guidebook and purchase the missing items, or the gift recipient won't be able to conduct any of the experiments.
Things you will need to purchase or have on hand include:
Iodine solution, e.g. Betadine
9 volt battery
White vinegar
Distilled water
Mineral water
Hydrogen peroxide
An iron nail (most hardware stores no longer carry iron nails)
Wooden shish kebab skewer
Coffee filters
Cotton balls
2 copper pennies
Small metal paperclip
Flat razor blade
Baking soda
White paper

limited for price . Given the cost, it's surprising how limited the selection of chemicals included in the kit are. Most of the kit is mostly just a few pieces of cheap labware. We got the kit a few months ago and then needed a replacement manual after a spill (not the first time I'm sure this has happened w a chemistry set), and Discovery Customer Service was of no help at all.
Chem set . My grandson just loves this set!!!!!He can't wait to try this out at home. His mother and fathwer are excited, too. Looks like they have lots of projects for long winter nights!!!!!
excelent . Excelent game toy's educational It is a very educational toy... that serves to arouse interest children by science... very helpful in the studies of chemistry
Es un poco complicado . Muchas de las instrucciones no son muy especificas y por lo tanto confusas. Las probetas deberian de traer marcadas las medidas de cm3 porque es un poco complicado para un niño tomar estas medidas cuando tiene que vertir algun liquido. Pero en lo general es instructivo y les enseña a los niños a ser cuidadosos y a tener paciencia cuando estan realizando algun experimento.
Not a good value . This chemistry set is a rip off. Priced way to high for what you get. Does not come with everything you need to complete the experiments. There is a whole list at the beginning of the booklet of other things you will need. Comes with four test tubes, but only two corks for the tubes. The directions are sometimes confusing. There are not really 75 "experiments". They take the experiments and break them down in to parts and call each part an experiment. So there are 75 parts of experiments. Kids should not work with this kit alone. Some of the experiments don't work. Don't feel that much chemistry is learned. Most experiments are turning liquids different colors, which has an "ooh" factor for kids. My kids (ages 10 and 12) like the kit, but I do most of the work with it, setting everything up and I find it frustrating. If you still really want this kit, consider supplementing it with the book Christian Kids Explore Chemistry to fill in the learning lacking in the set.
Pric3 hike . I would be ashamed to show the price to of 70.00. When others have it on sale for as low as 49.95 and two places for 55.00. I hate sellers who raise the price then cut it to just what they want to get. Trying to make people fell like they got a discount. SHAMEFULL!!
