Checklist: Find – Inspect – Check off

With this experiment kit, you will be

accompanying your child on an introductory

exploration of the fascinating world of chemistry.

Please support your child in his or her first

chemical experiments and help him or her with

both advice and in physically performing

experimental steps when help is needed.

Please read and follow these instructions as well

as the safety rules, the first aid information, and

the information regarding the handling of plaster

and household chemicals and their

environmentally sound disposal. Please keep this

information for reference.

A. This chemical toy is not suitable for children

under 6 years. For use under adult supervision.

Keep this chemical toy set out of reach of

children under 6 years old.

B. Read and follow these instructions, the safety

rules and the first aid information and keep

them for reference.

C. Incorrect use of chemicals can cause injury and

damage to health. Only carry out those

activities which are listed in the instructions.

D. Because children’s abilities vary so much, even

within age groups, supervising adults should

exercise discretion as to which activities are

suitable and safe for them. The instructions

enable supervisors to assess any activity to

establish its suitability for a particular child.

E. The supervising adult should discuss the

warnings, safety information and the possible

hazards with the child or children before

commencing the activities. Particular attention

should be paid to the safe handling of alkalies,

acids and flammable liquids.

F. The area surrounding the activity should be kept

clear of any obstructions and away from the

storage of food. It should be well lit and

ventilated and close to a water supply. A solid

table with a heat resistant top should be

provided.

Advice for Supervising Adults

G. The working area should be cleaned

immediately after carrying out the activity.

Emphasize to your child the importance of

following all instructions and warnings, and the

importance of carrying out only those experiments

that are described in this manual. Inform your

child, but do not frighten him or her — there’s no

need for that.

››› Devote special care to information about the

safe handling of acids (such as lemon juice and

household vinegar) and bases (such as solutions of

baking soda or detergents) and to experimenting

with open flame and hot liquids.

››› A dedicated “laboratory” room will not be

necessary for these simple experiments. A sturdy

table with a washable, heat-resistant surface is

good enough. It should be well lit and ventilated,

equipped with a nearby water tap, and not too

close to any stored foods. The surroundings should

be free of all obstacles. Always get any required

equipment and chemicals ready before beginning

an experiment. Your child should wear old clothes

(or an old smock). After completing the

experiments, he or she should pick up and clean

the work area and thoroughly wash his or her

hands.

››› Be careful not to let the chemicals get into the

hands of young children.

››› Always take appropriate precautions when

experimenting with open flame! Always place the

tealight candle on a fire-resistant surface, such as

an old saucer. Make sure that there are no

flammable materials near the experiment

location, such as curtains, tablecloths, or carpets.

››› Your child should not wear loose sleeves, a

shawl, or a scarf while experimenting, and long

hair should be tied back. Never let candles burn

unsupervised, and don’t forget to extinguish them

after an experiment. Keep a bucket or box of sand

ready in case of emergencies.

We hope you and your child have a lot of fun doing

these experiments!
