This Unit is different. While normally, we stick to everyday items, this advanced unit on chemistry requires a full chemistry set.  The good news is, you only have to buy one item, as it includes the glassware, safety gear, workbook, chemicals, and equipment. The downside?  Don't eat any of these things, and store far out of reach from small kids and pets.

We’re going to be using real chemicals in this Unit, some of which are corrosive, hazardous, and most are toxic. This Unit is NOT for small children or households with loose pets (so stick the dog outside while you work). When your materials arrive, please keep ALL chemicals out of reach and sealed until you need them. We’ll show you how to safely store, mix, and clean up your chemicals.

Make sure you have goggles and gloves for all experiments, and protect your table (put it near a window for good ventilation) with a thick plastic tablecloth. You’ll be using real glassware for these experiments (included in the set) to do your experimenting.

Beginner Chemistry (Grades K-4)

For younger students, we do NOT recommend this unit.  Instead, hop on over to a more appropriate Chemistry Level for your students here in Unit 3 and Unit 8.

Intermediate Chemistry (Grades 5-12)

There are now TWO Versions of each of the kits. Please make sure you select the correct version in order to make sure the videos in the curriculum line up with the experiments in your box.

(You can no longer purchase the original C3000. This kit was discontinued in 2018. Some families still have the original C3000, so we are keeping up the old videos in case they are needed.)

For Grades 5 - 8th: Thames & Kosmos C1000 v2.0 

For Grades 9-12th: Thames & Kosmos C3000 v2.0 PLUS the items on THIS LIST.

TIP: Don't buy both the C1000 & C3000. There is a lot of overlap (at least, at the beginning of the C3000) between the two. If you know your child is going to continue their studies in Chemistry, then just get the C3000 and start your chemistry studies there. The C1000 is more for students who only need a bit of chemistry, not an entire, rigorous year-long course. 

One box of the C3000 can be used for 2-3 students before refilling. In most cases, you can purchase individual refills here.
