Micro Chem XM5000

Micro Chem XM5000 Review



Micro Chem XM5000 Feature

  • Perform over 1,500 experiments and procedures
  • Used the microchemistry system, which uses smaller amounts of chemicals and yields accurate results.
  • Safer and quicker results.
Here's a real chemistry set in its own durable carrying case. Billed as the "safest chemistry set ever made," it contains no glassware or alcohol burners and its chemicals are much weaker in concentration than most chemistry sets. The kit includes its own safety goggles as well as dozens of chemicals and metals for experimentation. Also included are the real chemist's tools young experimenters will need to perform many experiments. It's important to know that the kit instructions are well written with detailed steps for each experiment. Not only are experiments fully described, they also have specific intended learning objectives that will help any student get a leg up in chemistry. Many schools carry similar sets for their chemistry curriculum. This exciting kit requires adult supervision, since any use of chemicals can be harmful. --Lee Strucker This super safe chemistry set includes over 1500 experiments and procedures! It includes 20 microchemical vials, safety goggles, test tubes, measuring cups, galvanometer, laboratory balance, pipettes, microplate, and is contained in a standing storage chest. Perform over 1500 experiments in the gaseous phases of matter, chemical models, solutions, acid and bases, electro-chemistry, organic chemistry and much more. The revolutionary concept uses the latest in MicroChemistry Technology, and the experiments are approved by the Smithsonian Institution Scientists. Warning: To be used solely under the supervision of adults. Contains some chemicals which can be harmful if misused. Keep out of the reach of small children.

Create Working Electronic Circuits
Snap Circuits comes with over 30 pieces to create 101 different electronic projects. The pieces, which include snap wires, slide switches, an alarm circuit, a music integrated circuit, and a speaker, snap together easily on the included plastic grid--no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices.

Simple, Fun Projects Let Kids Learn While They Play
With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits work to run the everyday devices that they're familiar with. They'll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following instructions. The project manual includes large color illustrations and simple directions for each project.

The projects include a sound-activated switch, a musical doorbell, a voice-controlled lamp, a flying saucer, and a light police siren. With these projects, children will experiment with things like electric switches, integrated circuits, digital circuits, fuses, and the transformation of circuit sounds into other sounds.

Grow as You Go
Because the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids can build on their skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons start out with a simple electric light and switch project that demonstrates how electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put together a two-speed fan, create clap-controlled sounds, and more.

Design Your Own Circuits and Upgrade Your Kit
Once children have mastered several of the techniques introduced in this kit, they can use the components to experiment and create their own customized circuits and electronic devices. The Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 can also be upgraded to the Snap Circuits SC-300, Snap Circuits Pro, or Snap Circuits Extreme with the purchase of a UC-30, UC-40, UC-60 upgrade kits, respectively. Kids will enjoy additional parts, manuals, and projects that'll take their kit--and their fun--to the next level.

Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
