So I was left to experiment on my own. Within an hour I had the entire kitchen table ablaze as I experimented by heating up various chemicals in the bottles to see what would happen.
So... my message to you out there, FATHERS... if you're going to get your kids a chemistry set, please, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure it comes with an instruction manual.
Fortunately, I was able to get the fire out without anything getting too damaged... and this was probably where my first interest in chemistry started... followed by an interest in pharmacy.

Please post your opinion on the NSA.
I believe that the NSA, the Nebraska Soybean Association, has a great mission to improve competitiveness and profitability of the Nebraska Soybean Producers.
You must be a youngster. It is very strange to see a chemistry set that looks like the one I had when I was a child called "vintage"!
