The Chemistry Set For Grown-Ups

While no doubt many readers fondly remember having a chemistry set as a kid, most of those on offer for children aren’t that exciting, thanks mainly to the obvious health and safety concerns. Now a successfully-funded Kickstarter project offers 40 of the “best experiments that science has to offer”, with almost all the chemicals needed to carry out each experiment at least twice. Highlights include chemiluminescence, hydrogen peroxide decomposition and the explosive reaction of potassium permanganate and glycerin.
