Explore the wonders of chemistry without leaving home
Since its 2002 debut in China, the BASF Kids’ Lab has become a must-go event each summer for children aged 6 to 12. In a cozy and safe atmosphere, children do new experiments by themselves, discover the wonders of chemistry, learn how to protect the environment in a creative way and improve quality of life.
Building on the enthusiasm, to offer children throughout China the chance to experience the fun of chemical experiments anytime and anywhere, the Virtual Lab was launched in June 2016.
Hello! I am Dr. Bubbles!
Welcome to the BASF Virtual Kids’ Lab!
I have prepared three popular Kid’s Lab experiments for you. They are Cleaning Dirty Water, the Red Stain Devil and Looking for the Sender.
- In Cleaning Dirty Water, you will gain knowledge of the water-recycling process and learn about the importance of saving water.
- Red Stain Devil explores the secret of laundry and how color-care detergent functions.
- In Looking for the Sender, you can act as detectives to find who has sent an anonymous invitation with the help of chromatography.
The experiments in the Virtual Lab will be updated continuously.
Let’s explore and have fun in the world of chemistry!
From kids:
Looking for the Sender is the most fun. I learnt how to separate different colors, just like a detective.
I have done the experiment Cleaning Dirty Water in the Science and Technology Museum. In the Virtual Lab, however, I can do the experiments any time I want. It is like I am having my own laboratory. And after completing different levels, I can get a badge. This is more fun and rewarding.
From parents:
Experiments in the Virtual Lab are all based on real ones. Kids are guided with interesting stories. Children can learn from the fun. Good!
When I accompanied my kid to participate in Kids’ Lab in the past, I could only wait and watch him. Now with this online version I can do the experiments with my kid, refresh my chemistry knowledge and grow up together with him. Thanks for this big surprise and all the efforts BASF has made in promoting science education to a young generation.
