Writerdaddy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Looking for somewhere I can order chemistry kit components in a kid kit, for about 7-9 years olds or so. Not looking for a pre-packaged science experiment kit, but just some lab components, in order to do kitchen science projects and to feel like you are a real scientist in a real lab doing real sciencey things with science equipment. I don't need ph strips and baking soda, etc, just the test tubes and beakers and measurers and mixers. Will probably look for some scientist lab coats and safety goggles too. etc. Anyone know where I can get these chem lab things in a kid-freindly form factor? Would consider an experiment kit if it had lots of these components in it, and they were durable, which is unlikely to be found in a kit.

woolybear Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This site has a mix of kid friendly and more professional items. You might not find what you need, but if you do the prices are good. http://www.sciplus.com/category.cfm/subsection/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillehei Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I like to look ahead to how I might use things in future years. We bought a Thames & Kosmos Chem3000(I think?) for my dc when they were younger and as they have grown, we just keep pulling out more and more supplies. They love chemistry and we do experiments for fun all the time. I looked at the cost as being used over 8 or more years and that's better than buying tons of seperate materials every year. If you don't want to go that route, I agree with pp that you will have to get individual components off of homesciencetools.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writerdaddy Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 that surplus site is great! thanks! some of the item descriptions were really funny (kind of like groupon, only actually humorous) I also am thinking of getting the TK kit for the future. If only I can guarantee that my kids won't smash everything ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
