One line of science kits that lasts a long time and can be used by a wide variety of ages is Snap Circuits. We bought our kit a couple of years ago and the kids still play with it all the time.All the parts are mounted on plastic bases that simply snap together to form a circuit. The one pictured is the mid-priced 300 part set; they also make 100 and 500 part kits. Even when Ds#3 was only 4 years old he was snapping these together and making circuits.
And on birthdays Ds#2 likes to put this together:

We love this set too. Visiting children also play with it. It pretty much covers all the electronics I studied at school (except the maths). It is a fantastic way to learn the concepts of circuitry.
It is a favorite in our home, too.
thanks for sharing this one. I'm definetly ordering for DD birthday next month.
Thanks for the tip. I've been looking at this type of thing but feel better when it's actually recommended...esp. by you! =)
