How Do You Create A Kitchen Chemistry Set?
Chemistry is all around us, but you don’t have to have a degree to experience chemistry. Create a kitchen chemistry set using common household items. Write a list of possible chemistry experiments using household items. For example, various food recipes involve chemistry on some level. Make bread to show how yeast makes bread rise. Make a baking soda and vinegar volcano to show how two different substances, a solid and a liquid, form a gas that expands. Find age appropriate materials. If the kitchen chemistry set is for kids, some materials might be more appropriate than others. Keep matches and all sources of fuel (like rubbing alcohol, gasoline or cooking oils) away from younger inexperienced kids. Buy a container to hold the kitchen chemistry set. Purchase a large water proof tub with a lid. Clearly mark the tub as “kitchen chemistry set.” Gather the supplies for the chemistry set.
