Unfortunately, for most younger students, these sort of experiments only come up occasionally in school. So, a chemistry set is a great gift to a young person\u2019s curiosity and love of science.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are some kids who are less interested in chemistry and more enthusiastic about space, engineering or the natural world, and there are plenty of great science kits out there for them, too.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve put together a list of our favourite chemistry sets and science kits
