Science kits

[Whitemousse]

My 7 year old has started to enjoy making electrical circuits. I bought a kit from Amazon and he can follow the instructions where you can make several different circuits. Does anyone recommend what he can do next?

Not a kit but my DD who is also 7 get this magazine:

There are experiments in every issue the use stuff you have at home (baking soda, vinegar, etc). I subscribed online and I get an email every month a few days before it is delivered with a list of what you need to do all the experiments in the new issue.

Maybe you can find something here?

It will cost rather more, but Lego and Technic do kits with scientific elements in them.

Also Raspberry Pi computers teach children a lot, but at 7yrs will probably need adult assistance. (Always assuming the adults can manage it!)

The science kits by Thames & Kosmos are really good and range from £20 up and cover different areas. All have great detailed easy to follow instructions with lots of experiments/ circuits etc with whatever the kit includes. Also I have girls so like that they don't gender kits for boys and girls. Mine are a nerdy 5 and 9.
