CHEM C3000 is the most comprehensive chemistry set Thames & Kosmos makes — a genuine at-home laboratory for students who are ready to move past introductory kits and dig into real chemistry. Inside the box, you'll find real laboratory equipment, 16+ chemicals, and a 192-page, full-color experiment manual that guides you through more than 333 experiments organized into 27 chapters. The kit includes everything from CHEM C2000 plus dozens of additional tools, chemicals, and 100 more experiments — a complete upgrade for students who have outgrown beginner sets. What sets CHEM C3000 apart is its depth. The manual is structured as a true introduction to chemistry, beginning with fundamentals and progressing through inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. Topics include workplace setup and lab technique, materials and reactions, atomic theory, separating mixtures, water and hydrogen, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, conductors and non-conductors, hydrochloric acid and chlorine, the halogens, redox reactions, electrolysis and the sacrificial anode, acids and bases and salts, sulfur compounds, ammonia, carbon and carbonates, metals identification, organic chemistry, alcohols and esters, fats and soaps, carbohydrates, and proteins. A full periodic table poster and element reference are included for ongoing study. The lab equipment is built for genuine experimentation: a tripod stand with alcohol burner for heating, glass test tubes and Erlenmeyer flask, graduated beakers, dropper pipettes and plastic syringe, evaporating dish and wire mesh, glass and rubber tubing, carbon electrode and metal sheets, alligator-clip wires with a light bulb and socket for circuit work, and protective safety goggles. The included chemicals — sodium hydrogen sulfate, calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, ammonium chloride, copper(II) sulfate, sulfur, iron powder, magnesium strip, potassium bromide, potassium iodide, potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), potassium permanganate mixture, sodium thiosulfate, activated charcoal, ammonium iron(III) sulfate, and litmus powder — let students perform real reactions, not simulations. Designed and manufactured in Germany, CHEM C3000 reflects more than a century of Kosmos expertise in publishing science experiment kits. It complies with all applicable US consumer product safety regulations and meets the more rigorous European EN 71-4 standard for chemistry experiment kits. Safety rules, first-aid information, GHS labeling on every chemical, and clear waste-disposal guidance are integrated throughout the manual. CHEM C3000 is recommended for ages 12 and up, with adult supervision required. Whether you're homeschooling, supplementing a school curriculum, or simply nurturing a passion for science, this is the chemistry set that takes a curious kid from "interested" to genuinely prepared for high school chemistry and beyond.
