Chem C500Introduction to Chemistry Ages 8+
The 32-page, full-color experiment manual gives simple instructions for setting up and performing each experiment, and then clear explanations of what happened and why. This kit is ideal for children who are interested in chemistry but who are not yet ready for a more advanced chemistry set. It serves as an excellent introduction to the other kits in our CHEM line. Ages 8 and up. For those familiar with our CHEM C101 kit, this kit is similar in concept, and has been considerably improved. New parts have been added to the kit to make the experiments safer and easier. The manual has been completely overhauled and the box has been redesigned.

Or measure and record the changes in temperature outside with a temperature sensor, and then graph the results. First, assemble a circuit and write a program, following the detailed instructions in the manual. Then, upload the program to the microcontroller using an infrared interface. The program tells the microcontroller how to perform your experiment and store the data. Finally, the data stored in the microcontroller can be downloaded to the computer using the infrared interface. Full-color, 144-page experiment manual. Ages 12 and up. The programming software requires a computer running Windows XP or Windows 2000.
