safe chemistry experiments for elementary classrooms

Our chemistry assortment supports students from PreK through 8th grade and beyond, with products designed for age-appropriate exploration.

Yes, our chemistry products are designed specifically for classroom use with safety as a priority. Materials like Water Gel™ use the same polymer found in diapers, and our bubble solutions are nontoxic formulations suitable for young learners.

Most of our chemistry products are designed for minimal prep, allowing you to focus on teaching rather than setup. Complete science kits include all essential materials and detailed instructions, so you can launch an experiment quickly.

Our chemistry materials cover foundational science topics including polymers and absorption, states of matter, crystal growth, bubbles and surface tension, color chemistry, and microbiology and hygiene. Students can observe molecular reactions firsthand, watching powder transform into snow, crystals grow on paper trees, or hydrophobic sand build structures underwater.

Absolutely, our chemistry products are available for different classroom configurations. Options include materials designed for small groups of 1-4 students, classroom sets supporting 30+ students, and large group demonstrations for 100+ participants.

Many of our chemistry products offer reusable components to maximize your budget. For example, Insta-Snow® can dry and be reactivated multiple times, and dry ice demonstration tools are designed for repeated classroom use.

Our complete chemistry kits vary in scope, offering anywhere from 1-5 experiments to 11-15 investigations depending on the kit. The Steve Spangler Science® STEM Success Kits typically include 4-8 experiments with detailed instructions, challenge variations, and discussion prompts to extend learning.

Steve Spangler Science® specializes in creating engaging, classroom-tested chemistry materials that transform abstract concepts into visible, hands-on experiences students remember. Their products, from polymer-enriched bubble solutions to crystal-growing kits, are designed by educators to deliver clear learning outcomes while sparking curiosity and wonder.
