homemade chemistry set?
Thad Martin
hi,
i was wondering if anyone had any idea what to include in a homemade
chemistry set. my 4 year old is fascinated with making 'potions' and
'medicine'. most of his experiments are made in the kitchen with
spices, flour, and whatever is around or in the bathroom with lotions,
herbs (tinctures) and anything else i can part with (mixing often
happens, and the mixtures most definitely end up in the toilet). but i
think he would really enjoy some chemical reactions (other then vinegar
and baking soda) but i'm completely clueless in this area and would
welcome any thought on this.

You might find the book Mudpies to Magnets and it's sequel, More Mudpies to
Magnets, a great addition to your tool kit.
Petri dishes, test tubes, tweezers, corks, baking soda, ph test strips, iron
filings, measuring cups/spoons, measuring tape, baby food sized jars,
string, balloons
