The website is still around: https://scitoys.com
I shut down the catalog business a while back, so I'm no longer selling anything, but most of the projects can be made with stuff in your kitchen or garage.
I've found the heat engines are a favorite of that age group -- match rockets, steamboats, etc.
The solar projects are also a hit.
If you need some really powerful magnets, drop by the farm:
19395 Montevina Road
Los Gatos, CA 95033
or
I have some inventory left. Especially hundreds of the steamboats.
Free.

Hoping Simon is still around (I forget your website?).--I volunteered at first in jest to do some simple experiments at a friend's kids birthday party, but the kids holding me to it!I know making slime from glue and borax and elephant toothpaste with hydrogen peroxide and yeast is pretty common, so I was seeing if anyone else had any success with public type experiments that might be interesting for 8-12 year olds.Yes there is google and youtube but, feedback from people that have done things that worked consistently or were extra fun would be appreciated.Also hoping for some physics experiments as well, not just Chemistry. I remember Simon had some interesting kits years ago and if that's still around send me the link!Thanks, Dakota
