We've hesitated in the past to offer such a "big" pre-packaged chemistry kit because of the cost, but you've asked for it, so here it is! This is truly the "big momma" of chemistry kits, with enough supplies for at least 333 experiments! This kit includes most of the components from the Chem C1000 and Chem C2000 kit (minus the copper wire & citric acid), plus dozens of additional tools and chemicals, and 100 additional experiments. The experiment guide is a whopping 192 pages and presents experiments with detailed explanations, instructions, and full-color illustrations. According to the manufacturer, the guide is written at a higher academic level than their other chemistry kit manuals, so it is oriented more towards students who are serious about chemistry. Besides the topics covered in the C2000 kit, this kit also explores atomic structure and bonding, the periodic table, chemical equations, organic chemistry, and structural formulas. For those of you who want to explore chemistry full-blast, this is the kit for you! Named the "Best Overall Chemistry Set" by the Wall Street Journal.
What could be more fun than playing with bubbling mixtures and liquids that change color, err... I mean, performing chemistry experiments? Each kit provides just about everything you need to do experiments that take mere minutes to complete. If you're especially interested in chemistry, I would recommend the C1000 kits and up because they are more extensive in content and materials. In the past, we recommended the C1000 and up for most chemistry courses, as the lab manual for the first kit was skimpier on explanations, but now that the C101 has been replaced with the C500, this is no longer the case. With the introduction of the C500, the lab manual has been "overhauled," according to the manufacturer, to bring it up to speed with the other kits. However, the safety glasses in the C1000 kit (and up) are still an improvement over the goggles in the C500 kit. There is some overlap between the kits, as each kit tends to "build on" and incorporate experiments and materials from the previous kit. Please note that a 6V lantern battery is required for some experiments but not included in any of the kits. ~ Anh
