Checkbox Selection Text to Variables

Is there an easy way to pull selections from a checkbox into global variables? Users are to choose three of five options and I need to capture the choices to use on another page. Here is the use case. Students select three out of five substances to experiment with. The substances are acetone, ethanol, glycerin, isopropyl alcohol, and water. On the next page, the three substances will be displayed for the user to conduct the experiment. The checkbox results should be three separate variables, such as substance_1, substance_2, substance_3.
