My First Chemistry Kit

Get your preschooler ready for some 'big-kid' hands-on science! Specially designed for young children, My First Chemistry Kit provides a safe introduction to chemistry with experiments and activities from the 'Microscopic Explorations' and 'Involving Dissolving Teachers' Guide.' These guides are part of 'GEMS,' a UC Berkeley science-education program that is already used successfully in many classrooms.

Your child will begin with an ornament-making chemistry activity, and go on to eye-opening experiences with their own microscope as they learn about lenses, magnification, and observing specimens.

This kit gives your child a head start on many of the skills they'll need to be successful in elementary-school science, from observing, describing, and comparing to predicting, inferring, and drawing conclusions. Your student will explore properties of matter, shapes and patterns, evaporation and dissolution, and other concepts. They'll also learn how to properly measure, how to record and analyze their data, work with lab equipment and accessories, and much more.

The Chemistry Set includes:

Ages 4 and up.
