Apologia’s science textbooks have the labs written in the textbook. (They have study guide questions, too. The notebook or study guide is an organizational tool—not an essential item.). Before you buy a kit or any equipment look at the supplies list, located in the appendices of the textbook. I tracked down the lists. The supply kits are a convenience. Shop your house first! Evaluate what you really need, such as safety glasses, a thermometer, a graduated cylinder, a balance, scale, and a funnel. Three or four borosilicate test tubes and a 250-mL borosilicate beaker are nice, too. Here is the basic equipment set from Apologia. Please note that you can use the stove or a hot plate for many experiments. Either one is safer than an alcohol burner. I do not use borosilicate, graduated cylinders; all of mine are plastic. I use borosilicate glass beakers as seldom as possible. Why? Glass has a short half-life in a Chem lab.
