We are still going through the experiments, but my son loves doing them and is looking forward to using the kit every day. He liked testing with included litmus papers vinegar, milk, and lime juice, and then recording his observations and conclusions in the note book.
Certain experiments did not work very well - for example, sticky ice did not work, potentially because in CA it is too warm for the water melted by salt to refreeze. Yeast-generated gas didn't inflating the balloon. We could feel some gas inside the balloon, but it did not rise as shown on the experiment card. Chromatography of color markers didn't work at all. Glue slime came out as cottage cheese. Volcano eruption worked, but I had to double all ingredients. Still, with several tries and help of internet you can make most experiments work. To me the kit is still worth it because of provided supplies and tools.
In my view, the kit works on many different levels. It teaches children chemistry, organizing workplace, safety (wearing goggles), accuracy (measuring), motor skills (using pipette, etc.), observing the results and drawing conclusion, reading (instruction cards), and writing (notebook).
I would recommend this kit to others, just expect you will have to re-try certain experiments. Alternatively, you can look up simple experiments online.
Here is a list of household supplies that you will need to have on-hand (or buy) to complete all of the experiments, in case you want to get in advance:
Salt, cornstarch, water, ice, vinegar, baking soda, pennies, lemon juice or cola, cup, pepper, baking dish, scissors, disposable bowls, piece of bread, sugar, 2 zip-lock bags, 2 pieces of banana, vegetable oil, pancake syrup, markers, rubbing alchol, yellow or red leaves, raisins, soda water, small glass, tall glass, egg, chicken bones, jar, milk, food coloring, cereal bowl, 2 pieces construction paper, 1 liter plastic bottle, measuring cup, tape, newspaper, black paint, paint brush (last 7 items are for #50 experiment). Most supplies are small amounts that are used. Baking soda, vinegar & water are used in many experiments.
