son (10) loves science - where or how can he do more at a higher level?

partic chemistry. He has an adults book about the Periodic Table. He is obsessed with blast furnaces.
I want a summer school or a magazine or an online activity to help him embrace his rather niche hobby

Anyone

Have him join the Royal Institute of Science as a junior member and go to some of their family events. Watch their past Xmas lectures online. They are great.

Oh and if you can get to the Big Bang Fair then do, I took a school group last year (year 7 and 8) and they all loved it.

Ooh thanks everyone. Hes delighted

Can highly recommend this kids.frontiersin.org/. Also, I read Scientific American magazine with my kids. Check out their Google Kids Science Fair.

Oh and this book:
