This Wired Science video reminisces about the good old days when a kids chemistry set could make some noise and smoke and had an element of danger. Those days are gone with the era of hyper-safety and lawsuits. Chemistry sets today are downright boring, like watching a crystal grow. So, if you want some excitement in your chemistry experiments it requires resourcefulness.

Featured in the Wired video, United Nuclear is the place to order the hard-to-find stuff if you want to make smoke bombs, start fire with water, or extract uranium from ore. That’s right! Uranium. They have the supplies and lab procedures with common sense safety guidelines.
