Make glow-in-the-dark worms, fizzing reactions, a crystal tree, and more — using real lab equipment.
Every experiment covers a different type of chemical reaction — polymers, acid-base, crystallisation, and fluorescence. The variety is what makes this kit so memorable: there's always another kind of chemistry to discover.
You get genuine test tubes, a beaker, a pipette, and measuring scoops — sized for small hands but built to work properly. Your child won't just play at science; they'll actually do it.
Independently evaluated and recommended by the National Parenting Product Awards. Parents described it as "extremely fun" with "well written" instructions that children could complete on their own.
10 guided experiments using the included materials, plus a bonus guide with 10 more experiments using common household items — so the chemistry keeps going long after the kit supplies run out.
Drip a solution into a chemical bath and watch it solidify into spaghetti-like worms that glow in the dark. It's the experiment that sends kids running to show the whole house — and the one they'll want to repeat. What makes it stick isn't just the spectacle; it's that the guide explains exactly what's happening, turning a wow moment into a genuine understanding of how polymers work.
10 guided experiments using real lab equipment
All focused on chemical reactions — work through them all, or pick whichever one looks most exciting first.
Drip polymer solution into a chemical bath to form squishy, glowing worms you can hold in your hands.
Learn: Polymer chemistry, cross-linking
Mix chemicals to create a dramatic fizz — CO₂ gas bubbles out visibly before your eyes.
Learn: Acid-base reactions, gas production
Add drops of indicator to a solution and watch it shift through a range of vivid colours.
Learn: pH indicators, acid-base chemistry
Blow through a straw into a solution and change its colour using nothing but your own exhaled breath.
Learn: CO₂, carbonic acid, pH
Make a test tube light up — a glowing liquid reaction that looks straight out of a science film.
Learn: Fluorescence, UV-reactive chemistry
Mix two chemicals together and shape them into a colourful ball that actually bounces.
Learn: Polymer chemistry, elasticity
Pour a solution over a tree-shaped base and check back over the next day as crystals slowly grow.
Learn: Supersaturation, crystallisation
Write a hidden message that's invisible until you apply the right chemical to reveal it.
Learn: pH-sensitive inks, indicators
Add a chemical to plain water and watch it dramatically change colour in an instant.
Learn: Indicator chemistry, dilution
Create a vigorous foaming reaction — bubbles form fast, spill over the edge, and keep going.
Learn: Acid-base reactions, CO₂ gas formation
Plus a bonus guide with 10 more experiments using household items!
From glowing worms to fizzing solutions — chemistry that's as hands-on as it gets.
