This is the ultimate chemistry kit! Thames & Kosmos Chem C3000 kit contains everything in their Chem C1000 and Chem C2000 kits, plus more chemicals and equipment. You'll be able to perform over 350 chemistry experiments. The kit comes in a box containing two foam packing trays. The company reserves the right to make technical changes in the kit, so there isn't much point in listing the exact contents of the box I received, but I will say it included a 192-page paperback color lab manual, safety glasses, stickers for labeling chemicals, test tubes, a test tube holder and test tube brush, a funnel, graduated beakers, pipettes, stoppers, an alcohol burner, a tripod stand, electrodes, brown bottles for storing light-sensitive chemicals, rubber hoses, glass tubing, filter paper, an evaporating dish, an Erlenmeyer flask, a plastic syringe, litmus powder, an assortment of other lab necessities, and numerous containers of chemicals. As you might expect, there's nothing particularly dangerous with respect to waste disposal (e.g., no mercury, carbon tetrachloride, etc.), but it's a serious set, intended for hands-on, old-school chemistry experimentation. The experiments introduce the investigator to the proper use of chemistry lab equipment and cover general chemistry and introductory organic essentials.
