Toys and Games Reviews of Discovery Exclusive Chem-X 1000 Science LabCustomer Review: disappointing Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my son (who is only 6 but I demonstrate the chemicals, he does the experiments with mixing foods etc). Unfortunately, he has already performed and understands most of the experiments in the book. We were hoping for something containing more options for kids who are experienced in science. Many of the experiments were ones that used household items that you must supply, and we had found the instructions for these experiments for free online months earlier. We essentially bought a book of instructions for things we had already done with a few chemicals (which were hardly used at all in the book provided) and a test tube holder that can only hold 3 tubes and some pipettes. The scale included is cheaply made (expected for the price, but still). The one part I feel was most educational was the molecule builder (tiny puzzle pieces to demonstrate the combinations of elements). I really wish I had just bought individual chemicals and test tubes. We will be using the items in this set in some of our own experiments, but mostly to use them up while we wait to get a good set. The first time we used the conductivity tester we discovered that it pops open and the batteries fall out, wrapping with electrical tape helped.
I recommend spending the extra $10-$20 for a much better set.
