About

Did you have a chemistry set as a child. Did you do experiments at home where sometimes it felt that there was more than a little risk, sometimes it fizzled out but at other times it went with a bang!

Today it feels harder than ever to get the tools to play with science at home and I want to be able to give my son a chemistry set that he would relish getting out to experiment with. One that he could pass on to his younger brother when the time is right. One that will instill the joy of science, exploration and discovery in him.

If I can’t buy one then I am going to make one, so this site will record my attempts to put together the best chemistry set a boy or girl could wish for (and not just chemistry, but enough stuff to experiment across all areas of science at home).

I hope you will join me.
