I got this idea from Thrifty Decorating and it was a hit!!
I printed the experiments onto cardstock, along with the box rules, and put them on a ring. The cards stay inside a storage baggie when in use. The tools are in a smaller tub, which sits inside of a large a tub that holds all of the experiment ingredients.
Leave me a comment if you would like me to email you my experiment card file.
