 T&K Chem series is cumulative May 19, 2009
By Hope Rose

I am going to buy some of these kits, but the Amazon site does not explain the sequencing. At the Thames and Kosmos site, they explain that Chem 2000 contains all of the experiments of Chem 1000 and then some. Likewise, Chem 3000 contains all of the experiments of Chem 1000 and 2000 and then some. I figured there might be other parents out there who wanted this piece of information.

Chem C 2000 good value Aug 28, 2008
By T. Draper
It must be good, I bought this kit to get my sons home school labs done for chemistry. The deal was he (had) to do one a week. The kit arrived yesterday and he has completed 1-12 in two days. I will tell you seltzer water is in the first part of the book so buy some before the kit arrives.
Other than that peroxide, alcohol, water, and vinegar were needed. Seltzer was not something I keep on hand but the other things were here. The only thing it lacks is a full list of other things you need so you can be prepared when the kit arrives. The price went down $2 after I purchased it. Which is good for you I guess. I can't complain I was pricing kits for over a month and this was by far the most complete with the best price. It is a good value. Books A million had it for $105 but when I went to buy it the price jumped to $150. I thought I had dyslexia but I had printed the page out 2 weeks prior and it said 105 on the printed page. To sum it up I we are vary happy with the kit.

Tons of Fun! Jan 20, 2009

This is an excellent chemistry kit. I love the fact that manual is not difficult to read and my son was able to work independently on some of the experiments. I would highly recommend.

 Truly pathetic excuse for a chemistry set... no chemical formulas at all Jul 26, 2011
By Carlos
Truly pathetic excuse for a chemistry set... no chemical formulas at all.
I am truly disappointed with this poor excuse for a chemistry set. It is all colors and flashy things, nothing really is explained. There are no chemical formulas (even though it is targeted to older children who could perfectly understand something in a much simpler way things as the decomposition of water 2 H2O -> 2H2 + O2 rather than the OVERLY LONG and TRULY BORING text that goes along with each experiment and really explains very little or nothing at all. Wow! I know this is no longer the 1970's or 1980's but I really miss my chemistry set from back then. This chemistry set is really worthless.
This is my second T&K set (the first one was a physics set). I am really dismayed how poor they are in terms of actual explanations of the science behind the kit. It is so DUMBED DOWN that is extremely boring since at the end of the experiments you really gain no knowledge of what happened since the text only describes what you see.
I will *never* buy any T&K kit again.

Good, but difficult. Not for the faint of heart. Jan 19, 2011
By Montana Mom
There are many, many great things to do with this set. It is difficult for my son to work his way through, and is much better if I read the experiment first, then explain it to him as to what the goal is, and all the steps and ingredients. It's more like a teacher's manual. That said, I believe we will learn a LOT about chemistry!
