A
chemistry set is a small collection of chemicals and associated scientific apparatus, typically glass or plastic ware, designed for the user to perform experiments or demonstrations in the science of chemistry. Usually the recipient is a young person, the chemistry set is a gift for their birthday or Christmas, and the intention is that the child should have some educational fun and hopefully learn some science. However adults also sometimes enjoy playing with chemistry sets or other scientific kits.
The oft-heard gripe that chemistry sets ain't what they used to be is basically true - it's not just us oldies yearning for the good ole days, chemistry sets have been heavily watered down for health & safety reasons. Whether that's gone too far might be a debatable point, but modern chemistry sets can still convey some of the essential fascination of mixing stuff and seeing reactions - they just won't blow your fingers off! We usually recommend the Chemistry Lab because its got twice as many chemicals as any other set, and comes with an instruction booklet and CD, at a reasonable price. For younger children, the Chemistry 100 might be more suitable, or the Kitchen Chemistry. The more serious chemistry student should definitely go for the Thames & Kosmos CHEM series - they're not cheap, but they're very good. See our special offer on the C500.
