T&K Chem series is cumulative . I am going to buy some of these kits, but the Amazon site does not explain the sequencing. At the Thames and Kosmos site, they explain that Chem 2000 contains all of the experiments of Chem 1000 and then some. Likewise, Chem 3000 contains all of the experiments of Chem 1000 and 2000 and then some. I figured there might be other parents out there who wanted this piece of information.

CHEM C2000 Intermediate Chemistry Kit Reviews
Chem C 2000 good value . It must be good, I bought this kit to get my sons home school labs done for chemistry. The deal was he (had) to do one a week. The kit arrived yesterday and he has completed 1-12 in two days. I will tell you seltzer water is in the first part of the book so buy some before the kit arrives.
Other than that peroxide, alcohol, water, and vinegar were needed. Seltzer was not something I keep on hand but the other things were here. The only thing it lacks is a full list of other things you need so you can be prepared when the kit arrives. The price went down $2 after I purchased it. Which is good for you I guess. I can't complain I was pricing kits for over a month and this was by far the most complete with the best price. It is a good value. Books A million had it for $105 but when I went to buy it the price jumped to $150. I thought I had dyslexia but I had printed the page out 2 weeks prior and it said 105 on the printed page. To sum it up I we are vary happy with the kit.

CHEM C2000 Intermediate Chemistry Kit Opinions
Tons of Fun! . This is an excellent chemistry kit. I love the fact that manual is not difficult to read and my son was able to work independently on some of the experiments. I would highly recommend.

Truly pathetic excuse for a chemistry set... no chemical formulas at all . Truly pathetic excuse for a chemistry set... no chemical formulas at all.
I am truly disappointed with this poor excuse for a chemistry set. It is all colors and flashy things, nothing really is explained. There are no chemical formulas (even though it is targeted to older children who could perfectly understand something in a much simpler way things as the decomposition of water 2 H2O -> 2H2 + O2 rather than the OVERLY LONG and TRULY BORING text that goes along with each experiment and really explains very little or nothing at all. Wow! I know this is no longer the 1970's or 1980's but I really miss my chemistry set from back then. This chemistry set is really worthless.
This is my second T&K set (the first one was a physics set). I am really dismayed how poor they are in terms of actual explanations of the science behind the kit. It is so DUMBED DOWN that is extremely boring since at the end of the experiments you really gain no knowledge of what happened since the text only describes what you see.
I will *never* buy any T&K kit again.

Good but difficult. Not for the faint of heart. . There are many, many great things to do with this set. It is difficult for my son to work his way through, and is much better if I read the experiment first, then explain it to him as to what the goal is, and all the steps and ingredients. It's more like a teacher's manual. That said, I believe we will learn a LOT about chemistry!
Pleased but somewhat disappointed. . I purchased the CHEM C2000 for my son, so that we could do the experiments together, it was fun, I enjoyed it, however I was disappointed that it required external ingredients for some of the experiments. However, I fully recommend it.
Not a toy chem set . I got this set for our 9 year old who out grew his first chemistry kit. This one is "for real". In order to do the experiments you have to start at lesson 1 and work through the chapters. It feels like homeschool material, which is great, eventhough we don't homeschool. I will set aside time to work on it with my son, he can't do the work without parental help. I recomend it for those who really want to learn real chemistry.
Great Gift for a Budding Chemist . This chemistry kit has it all! Chemicals, an alcohol burner, and test tubes. It requires parent supervision, but is fantastic for those with an interest in chemistry. I got this for my son's birthday, and it has provided hours of fun! No accidents yet, but we are careful around here, and as a former science teacher, I supervise well. Super cool!
Cons Review
Only as good as the manual which is weak . Overall, this is a nice set. However, the manual could have (and should have) been written much better. On several experiments, it has induced frustration in my son and unfortunately, dampened his interest in chemistry instead of fostering it. A great example of this is the invisible ink experiment. You are over half way into the experiment before you are told to pull out a feather/ink quill or fine point paint brush (neither of which come with the set.) Next surprise, you are told that slightly yellow paper works best (hmmm, let me see, where is that stock of slightly yellow paper I keep around the house - Ah yes, next to my ink quill.) Finally, you are told that you need to mix up two addition solutions not initially mentioned.
Come on, folks. How hard is it to provide a simple "You will need these items for this experiment list" at the top of each experiment?
Additionally, I think the experiments would be a little more exciting if some more fun was introduced into the manual. Again, referring to the invisible ink experiment, some text about secret agents or on passing secret messages between friends might make it a little more exciting for kids.
The set is nice made and compiled so it certainly is worthy from that standpoint. It is also well packaged.
