H.M.S.

Beagle
Master Chemistry Set
This is the chemistry set every child wants to own and the set that every adult wanted to own. It
not only includes over 80 BenchMark™ chemicals (including all the chemicals found in the Bench-
Mark™ Legacy Chemicals Kit™), but it includes a chemistry book, All Lab, No Lecture; Illustrated
Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments, and a CR-ROM with the 1936 edition of Chemistry for Boys
and the 1960 edition of The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments in Adobe PDFs. Also on the CD-
ROM are additional PDFs of more experiments and demonstrations and the Material Safety Date
Sheets (MSDSs) for the chemicals in the set. With theses books, chemicals and equipment one can
do thousands of experiments, demonstrations and serious scientific research; one is only limited
by one’s imagination.
The glassware and equipment is all professional quality and is exactly like one would find
in any college or industrial chemistry laboratory. The laboratory notebook is a standard item we
sell in the Beagle, and users will always be able to purchase additional books.
The BenchMark™ chemicals are all packaged by H.M.S. Beagle and are standard items in
our store. Additionally, these chemicals and nearly 600 more can be purchased in-store and on-line
(with applicable shipping restrictions). We are always adding new chemicals to our line. Addi-
tional or replacement glassware and equipment are also sold both in our store and on-line.
The staff at the Beagle are always willing to assist amateur scientists. We can be contacted
by e-mail: [email protected], phone: 816.587.9998, or by fax: 816-587-9997. Our on-line store can
be found at www.hms-beagle.com. Use the following check list as you unpack the boxes; inform
us of any missing items.

NOTE: We make every attempt to make sure all components have been packed into the two
Master Chemistry Set boxes; however, we sometime miss an item and sometimes we even pack
something extra that isn’t supposed to be there. If we have packed something extra, it is yours to
keep; however if we have missed something please inform us as soon as possible and we will ship
it off to you at our expense. We do keep a check list of everything that is supposed to be in the two
boxes, but sometimes all those check marks hide an unchecked box and we inadvertently fail to
put something in. If something is missing we will verify it on the check list we have retained with
your original order and then we’ll blame it on David who, after all, it heading off to college in the
fall. Thank you
