I'm making a lab/kit for my almost 10 year old. Am I missing anything? Vinegar Baking soda Litmus paper Balloons Salt peter Borax Food Coloring Pipe cleaners Diet Coke & Mentos Pennies Salt Toothpicks Cotton swabs Rubbing Alcohol Hydrogen Peroxide 3% Hydrogen Peroxide 6% Bubble solution Aluminum Foil Coffee filters Vaseline Matches Sugar Vitamin C tablets Tincture of Iodine Corn Starch Corn Syrup Dawn Goggles Gloves Funnel Measuring spoons and cups Medicine dropper Yeast Vegetable oil Ziploc bags Wooden skewers Plastic bottles Kleenex Alka Seltzer tablets Epsom Salts I think that's it. Am I missing anything? |

1M HCL. Can't have too much of that. |

Where did you find 6% H2O2? Nitric acid HCL Gold |

No, we're not cooking meth, haha! Just fun experiments for an almost 10 year old with stuff that fizzes, foams, explodes, makes smoke, etc. Elmo, 6% H2O2 is supposedly available in beauty supply as a 20 volume solution. Going to check it out tomorrow...hoping I can get some because the experiment using this stuff looks like a blast. |

Moose, what is 1M HML? Taskiss, I already have potassium nitrate on the list as Salt peter. Where could I get sulphur and charcoal and nitric acid? |

He said HCL, not HML. That you failed to immediately pick up on 1 molar hydrochloric acid speaks heavily about your familiarity with chemistry, and you may wish to reconsider some of your plans. For instance, I would strike nitric acid from your list. Actually, I would ignore any suggestions about materials and experiments that didn't come from Nephyr. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molarity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid |

I excelled in biology instead. I vaguely remember something about hydrochloric acid eating your face off or something. I'm thinking pre-teen level experiments, not high-school level...as in, stuff that probably would be relatively safe but not incredibly boring like growing crystals or making play-doh/corn-starch goop. I've got a huge number of these experiments lined up, just double-checking to make sure I'm not missing anything obviously awesome. |

I think the difference is that with high school experiments you are looking for exact quantifiable results. |

Think more like an average 10 year old...solutions that suddenly change from clear to blue in an instant, homemade smoke bombs and smoke fountains, inflating balloons with yeast or vinegar and baking soda, diet coke and mentos rockets, burning money without destroying it, vegetable oil and coloring with water and alka-seltzer lava lamps, etc. More like, "fun and exciting intro to chemistry for kids." |

What I'm saying is, two people have proposed strong acids, and one person has listed a recipe for meth. They're joking. If you have a fairly solid grounding in chemistry, you enjoy your laughs. If you don't, you might be having a ten year-old play around with strong acids. That might not end well. Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid are fine for college chemistry experiments, and perhaps even high school chemistry experiments. They are not a great idea for a ten year-old, particularly since you aren't trained in proper lab safety. The list you've got in the first post is fine. |

unitednuclear.com has or at least had a bunch of fun experiments listed for all age ranges and a bunch of cool stuff aside (you could literally build a gun type nuke with the stuff they had maybe still can). |

People have yet to discover how to transmute lead into gold. We have our best alchemists on it. |

Bleach and ammonia is always good times. And Taskiss's ingredients make black powder, which is fun. |

LK, you might enjoy looking at http://www.youtube.com/user/ScienceBob I really liked his video on easy lava lamps.... |

Sam, that's the first experiment I copied down for his book!
