As we begin the International Year of Chemistry, science-focused toy makers, Thames & Kosmos, have not only released a water chem-lab that teaches how to test water for impurities. It's also an environmentally conscious online networking opportunity. Kids can join a global water quality challenge by testing their local water supplies and uploading their findings online. The company will reveal the collected data on an interactive map, allowing kids to view their own work as well as findings from other budding scientists around the world.
