I have to agree with Leigh. "Toy" companies are to worried that they will get sued, so they end up making "no good", no chemical, no glass chemistry sets. He is right when he says that many kids get injured in sports, but almost no-one in hurt in a chemistry class. I also am not one for sports, yet I am really interested in science classes (I want to be an astronomer). Parents need to step up and watch what their children are doing and help them. I recommend just buying some chemicals and making your own chemistry set from someplace like home scientific. Thats what we ended up doing. They have a good selection of glass beakers, test tubes, flasks, and a really nice selection of chemicals. Hope this helps in making a chemistry set.
