Says ages 9 and up but I think that can be stretched down for this crowd. 64 experiments, most of which require about 3 ingredients and 4-6 steps. Explanations of 'what's happening' for each one. Very fun, some stuff takes about 2 seconds to set up and it is just great for conversations with kids. https://twitter.com/asimom, https://contributingfactor.wordpress.com
