Chemical Data & Safe Handling Information Sheet

What do I really need to know first? First of all, the chemicals in this set should be stored out of reach of pets and children. Grab the chemicals right now and stuff them in a safe place where accidents can’t happen. Do this NOW!


When you’re done storing your chemicals out of reach, watch this video:

Now go grab your chemistry set box and click this link to find out which set you have. We’re going to learn how to read the secret code on the chemicals, which parts are which inside the set, and get our chemistry lab ready to work with.


How do I use this information? You have two options, depending on your comfort level and ultimate educational goals. You can just watch the videos and talk about what’s going on with your child, or you can watch the videos and then perform the experiment with your child.


This unit includes the instructional videos for Chemistry, and is meant to be used in conjunction with the experiments in the Thames and Cosmos C1000 chemistry lab kit. The manual included in the C1000 has complete safety information and many more experiments for you to complete after you finish this unit.


All experiments presented here at AT YOUR OWN RISK. You are fully responsible for your own safety and those around you. (No building nuclear reactors in your garage.)


To put it simply, don’t eat anything in your chemistry lab, keep children and pets away from your lab, lock up your chemicals safely, learn how to store your chemicals safely, and don’t create large quantities of anything explosive, corrosive, or toxic. Always wear safety equipment and do your experiments in a spot what has plenty of air for ventilation, water and a drain, and a phone.


In all seriousness, be safe, have fun, play with the kids, and if you run across anything that boggles the mind, let us know and we’ll try to help you out.

  1. I’ll have my team connect with you right away! so sorry about that.

    Trying to watch the videos and both say “video not found or access denied” then has the website address listed – sciencelearningspace2.com/standardco

    I am signed in. Not sure what the issue is??

  3. Yikes! It looks like they have more than one version of the 2.0. This sometimes happens when using other folks’ products. Ok – so you can get a carbon rod by sharpening BOTH ends of a graphite pencil – that’s probably the easiest way to get one.

    If you want to order one, find it here:

    You’ll find magnesium here:

    Sodium hydrogen sulfate is also known as Sodium Bisulfate:

    Hope this helps! I totally apologize for the hassle – we originally picked this particular product to make it EASIER, not harder, to get all your stuff from one source. I’ll have my team review and see what we can do to make this better…

    Aurora,
    My family has the C1000 Version 2.0 set, and it doesn’t seem to have the carbon rod. A lot of the experiments have this… do you have any experiments that can done with this particular set, or do we need to purchase the items we do not have. Also, this set doesn’t have sodium hydrogen sulfate or a magnesuim strip.

    Thanks for your help!
