Nice intro kitWe bought this for our 11 year old grand daughter for Christmas and she and Grandpa had a great time working on the experiments. Comes with a nice book that walks you through the experiments. You should start with experiment 1 and work your way through them as the knowledge you gain with each experiment is cumulative. As you get farther into the experiments adult supervision is suggested as you are working with an open flame and some more dangerous chemicals. 5Decent Chemistry Set, But OverpricedI still have great memories of the science toys I had as a kid, including two chemistry sets: Gilbert and Chemcraft. I always try to give my friends' kids at least one cool science toy for Christmas or birthdays, and I've spent a lot of time searching for something akin to those chemistry sets I remember so fondly.OK, it's not the 70s anymore, and we don't trust kids -- even in the presence of adult supervision -- with the same sorts of items and materials that we once did; I've got that. One motivation for my purchasing this set was that it was the lowest-priced set I could find that included actual /glass/ test tubes and an alcohol lamp. All the less-expensive sets I've seen exclude those items, and aren't even worthy of the name "chemistry set" -- they're just toys. But really, for $150, I expected a lot more than what actually came in the box.This set has a well-written manual that will take a dedicated youngster through the basics of chemisty. And it does include real test tubes and fire, both of which a reasonably intelligent 11 year old should be capable of handling safely, with occational adult input. The set even includes safety glasses, which is more than my ancient chemistry sets did.On the other hand, the palate of chemicals provided is quite limited compared to the old chemistry sets. Also, a number of household items need to be added -- which would be OK, if there was a list provided somewhere, so that you could stock-up on what you needed before getting into the experiments. But overall, there just doesn't seem to be enough "stuff" provided with this set to justify the price. I know we're not paying 1970 prices anymore, but if this set had cost maybe $50-60 I would have given it a much higher rating. Now I know why I had to buy this online: if it had been on the shelves in a toy store, where people could actually heft the box and see details of the contents, I doubt very many would have been willing to shell out $150 for it.Kids insterested in science will have fun with this -- for a while, until they use up the meager supply of chemicals provided. Seems like we could do better than this. This should be the C1000 set, and it should cost half (or less) of what it currently costs. Or, we could trust our kids a little more than we seem to, and include some more interesting items in the box. 3Five StarsItem as described and fast shipment 5WE LOVE SCIENCE!Got this for my 26 year old bro. He loved it. Don't pay attention to the "ages" part. Who cares! WE LOVE SCIENCE! 5Rating depends on what level of interest your child hasI guess there are two types of kids who might want this set: those who are already interested in chemistry and want to learn more, and those who aren't sure but want to mix two purple liquids together and have it come out clear.I would say this is an excellent set for those kids who are already interested in chemistry, because the very long manual takes you step-by-step through many many experiments, starting with the utterly simple (such as observing water when you dissolve sugar in it), and asks pertinent questions.My 11yo son, on the other hand, is of the latter camp -- he thought a chemistry set would be cool because you could make interesting things happen -- like magic. We spent a couple of hours and started on page 1 of the manual, and it was very difficult to keep him interested. He really wanted to jump ahead and find something interesting, whereas after more than an hour of reading we were doing little more than boiling water. In fact, we didn't actually boil the water because the set didn't include the alcohol needed for the burner.I also knocked off a star because the set doesn't include many of the materials you'll need, and there doesn't seem to be any single page in the manual where you can find a list of what you need to buy or where to find it.Clearly, this set has been well thought out by people who know what they're doing -- the manual is very detailed, full of important and interesting information. The authors are experts in their field, and if your child is a budding scientist, then I suspect they might love this set and learn quite a lot. I would only take off half of a star due to the missing supplies you need to hunt down on your own.But for the kid who expects a chemistry set to be similar to a magic kit, and doesn't have a *lot* of patience, this is probably not the right product for that kid.The same manufacturer offers a smaller kit, the C1000, which might be a better choice for some people. 3Not fun to put away and set up many timesThis set is well done. There are many things to choose from. You might need a designated table and area for set up. Not fun to put away and set up many times. Love the ideas. 5Quality product.After quite a bit of research, we made our son earn this expensive chemistry set he had been begging for. I'm so glad we got this. It is great! High quality products with many experiments including chemicals and fire (WITH ADULT SUPERVISION). My husband and I are both nurses and are so happy to spark our son's interest in science. 5Loved this kitLoved this kit. The first night we opened it I had my 12yo, 10yo, and 7yo all eager to make stuff. We did The first 15 experiments out on my back deck. We made the prettiest salt crystals and Copper Sulfate crystals.The guide has amazing pictures, environmentally safe disposal instructions, and lots of real world applications.I didn't get the CHEM3000 because of cost, but this one has so much in it. My daughter won't even notice. All three of me kids love this set, but I do not leave them unsupervised. The alcohol burner is a very cool feature. 5Good big boy toyWhat a blast! Perfect for my 13 yr old son. 5A great gift for my little scientistBought this for son as a Christmas present. He loves it. Everyday he wants to do some type of experiment. We have had to replace some chemicals, but most are not terribly expensive.We're now on to bigger, better experiments with bigger, better equipment, but he still comes back to this great little chemistry set. 5
