Cory James Marriott is Kickstarting a cool $600 chemistry set. The examples on the video of glowing liquids, colored flames, color changing liquids, and weird crystals are the kinds of things kids hope and expect when they are given a crappy modern-day chemistry set, only to be disappointed to find out it contains not much more than a baggie of salt, a plastic eyedropper, and a pair of safety goggles.
The Chemistry Set includes the glassware, chemicals, and lab apparatus necessary to perform the most interesting and exciting chemical reactions. We have spent months researching the most fascinating reactions to include in the set. All of this research has been compiled in our Experiments Book. This book includes procedures for 40 experiments. The set, along with the book, will enable you to carry out these experiments. Please keep in mind that some of the experiments require chemicals and items that cannot be shipped (such as dry ice, acid, strawberries, etc...) Also included in the set are selected physics experiments (magnetism & electricity).
Many chemistry sets fail to include exciting reactions. Our Experiments Book is packed with the best experiments that science has to offer. Below is a list of a few chemical experiments that will be included. The set includes the chemicals needed to perform these experiments (and many more):
- Iodine Clock Reaction
- Chemiluminescence
- Traffic Light Reaction
- Blue Bottle Experiment
- Chemical Garden
- Color Flame Test
- Endothermic Reaction
- Exothermic Reaction
- Copper Sulfate Crystals
- Potassium Permanganate and Glycerin
- Acid & Metal Reaction
- Calcium & Water
- Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition
- Sodium Acetate Crystallization
- Red Cabbage pH Indicator
- Sodium Hydroxide Titration
Florida teen pleads not guilty to Twitter hack
Graham Clark, the 17-year-old Florida boy accused of pulling off the big Twitter hack, pled not guilty to charges on Tuesday. During the security breach, top accounts including Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk were taken over to push a bitcoin scam.

Doom running in task manager with each CPU core as a pixel, supposedly
In this footage, a supercomputer’s CPU cores — nearly 900 of them — are neatly lined up in the Task Manager. The Doom logo appears, generated by code that targets each core. Then Doom itself plays, each “pixel” generated by thrashing a core with just the right amount of busy work. Max Holt: Finally got […]

UK bans Huawei purchases
The UK government today ordered domestic companies to stop buying equipment from Chinese vendor Huawei and to stop using its kit entirely by 2027. Huawei is suspected to be an arm of the Chinese government, breaking into western markets (and maybe its networks) by selling impossibly cheap equipment. The UK only recently approved more Huawei […]

This Spanish language training wants to rewire your mind
If the last 50 years of education have taught us nothing else, it’s that it often requires different tactics to best reach different learners. To pick up a foreign language, some students take best to the old-school high school language lab method, using heavy repetition, verb conjugation and grammar emphasis to embed a new language. […]

These 35 items can help your kid learn at home
Nobody is happy about the current state of our COVID-ravaged education system. With a new school year fast approaching, plans for teaching students still in flux, and political in-fighting driving more fear and confusion about whether or not to re-open campuses, teachers and parents are concerned. Meanwhile, most kids are just fine with spending less […]
