Product Description

Chem C3000 is the ultimate chemistry set. The kit includes all of the components from Chem C2000, plus dozens of additional tools and chemicals, and 100 additional experiments, for a total of more than 333 experiments. The 192-page, full-color experiment manual is written at a more advanced level than the other Chem kit manuals. You could call it a textbook, but the manual is much too fun to make that comparison. Chem C3000 has a similar hands-on approach to teaching chemistry as our other Chem kits, but also teaches more advanced topics such as chemical equations, atomic structures, and the Periodic table. These concepts are critical to continued study of chemistry. Chem C3000 is an excellent preparation for high school Level chemistry. Ages 12 and up.

    This is a real chemistry set
    I must congratulate Thames & Kosmos for marketing this. It is a real chemistry set. I should know. When I was a kid I had the best chemistry set available at the time (the Gilbert ChemLab 5), augmented with after market chemicals from hardware and drug stores and hobby shops (back then hobby shops had racks of chemicals you could buy for your chemistry set). Today I still have ten fingers and two eyes and I ended up being an electronic engineer.Unfortunately, the forces of darkness and the minions of the flat earth society want to keep our population as ignorant as possible. Uneducated and ignorant people are easier to manipulate. As Donald Trump said, "I love the poorly educated." These enemies of science call chemistry sets one of the most "irresponsible toys" ever made and "baby's first meth lab". They spread fictitious statements like, "chemistry sets disappeared because of lawsuits."(Joshua) Lionel Cowen, the man behind Porter/Chemcraft chemistry sets died in 1965 and AC Gilbert of Gilbert chemistry sets and "The Man Who Saved Christmas" (look it up) died in 1961. Without their leadership the companies struggled and THAT, not the imagined lawsuits, killed the mass-distributed chemistry sets.You know, it seems like there must be a conspiracy because in 2012 (the year that came up first in my search) there were 722 bicyclist deaths in the United States. Apparently there have been no deaths from chemistry sets in decades. Yet I haven't heard anyone call bicycles an irresponsible toy and there is no indignation that they are legal.Do your children a favor. Get them a chemistry set and DO try this at home. Sit with them and talk to them about safety and caution. Accidents may happen but a chemistry set is far safer than the dangerous bicycles. And with a chemistry set your children will learn facts about the real world that will serve them well as they grow.Attached pictures:The product is well packaged - but it does make some disturbing rattling soundsI provided some samples of the C3000 manual and an old Gilbert manual. There is no comparison. The manual that comes with the C3000 is VASTLY SUPERIOR to anything Gilbert distributed.
