About Me:
Hey guys! I’m Summer Meyers, homeschool mom to five kiddos, and we talk all things homeschool on this channel. Homeschool community is important to me–talking about homeschool and encouragement to be our best selves for our children is powerful. I love talking home education and really diving into what makes homeschool work. We are an eclectic homeschool, mixing Charlotte Mason, Wildschooling/adventure schooling, and Unit studies. I have kinesthetic learners as well as visual learners who thrive on being outdoors and soaking up God’s green earth. I love hearing from other families who are choosing to school at home, so please introduce yourself in the comments! Being at home is hard, and taking on the education of our kids is even harder. Know that you are not alone in this journey and that you can do it!

If you’re wondering, yes. Trump really did say that.

So, a few points here. As a 1980s Canadian kid, I grew up with British chemistry sets – a Salter Science (formerly Thomas Salter) Chemistry Set 2 (82 experiment), and a couple Merit Chemistry sets, along with a couple microscope sets, and some other add ons over the years. All of which were foundational and contributed towards both lifelong learning and my current occupation as an adult in data networking and it systems. Now for the other stuff. As an adult, I got back into chemistry with the goal of revisiting my childhood experiments and hopefully (maybe) get my teen and adult kits interested. One of my daughters will soon graduate university with a Psych major and a chemistry minor!! I also own a couple of the Thames and Kosmos C3000 sets, and collect old science set manuals. One thing always singled out in all of the chemistry and microscope set manuals is the importance of having a permanent corner in your home dedicated to your scientific experiments and journey. As a kid, I had a corner of my parent’s basement where everything was setup on the ledge which surrounded the basement. I know of others that used old desks or tables, or built their own custom tables with storage. There are plenty of old books available online and websites that document the plans on how to do this. I especially recommend Raymond Barrett’s Build-it-yourself Science Laboratory. But get William Oakley’s annotated version, published by Make Publishing. It’s a modern update of Raymond Barrett’s 1963 text, and Oakley’s book is available in both printed and ebook formats (pdf, kindle, and kobo – which are a little cheaper). I also recommend the other Make Publishing science books in chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Those wooden, metal, and plastic chests and cases disappeared in the 1970’s, except for some microscope sets where it’s an expensive add-on or a cheap and flimsy plastic case. Otherwise, you could do what i did as a kid for my tasco microscope when we used to move alot. i retrofitted a couple heavy cardboard boxes intended for frozen meat and vacuum parts. It just so happened that the styrofoam for my microscope just fit into the vacuum parts box left over from my mom replacing the flexible tube and some other little bits that got lost. So you could probably use a cheap suitcase from walmart, but measure the styrofoam first to get and idea of what to buy. Another thing you could do for a permanent to semi-permanent setup, is to order a cheap table or desk with shelving from wayfair or amazon. Or even use a couple hdpe plastic fold-up tables from walmart. For an extra few dollars, you can order fishing fold up table with a sink. this allows you to have a sink and water source for experiments, rather than making one as per the build-it-yourself book (but still get it cause it also has a ton of experiments to try). As a kid, I made a sink and water source using plastic milk jugs, plastic aquarium tubing, and good ol gravity, thanks to my merit chemistry manual and Barrett’s 1963 book (but don’t use the 1963 book – use Oakley’s Annotated version). Nowadays, I use a water dispenser with a 18 litre (4 gallon) water bottle. It’s not feasible, nor practical for me to install additional plumbing, but a more modern version of my childhood setup is.
I do like chemistry set since I took it in highschool but now I like it and I got the set yay 🎉 so in love with my hobbies
German here. I have personal experiences with KOSMOS Chemistry sets from the 1940s onward. They taught me A LOT and fuelled my love for chemistry. I later became a Chemical engineer.
And yes: Up into the early 1980s the Chemistry sets were really full of hazardous chemicals for really advanced chemical experiments.
Nowadays, due to hyper-tight regulations, the content is “safe but somewhat lame”…too much oriented towards morons. But that’s how it is. A 1950s car manual told you how to adjust the engine’s valves…a 2020s car manual warns you not to drink windscreen wiper fluid, kinda. 😂
This is gonna make me insane. It’s not that dangerous to have uranium.
