I'm no scientist, but I find bits of New Scientist quite readable, if not comprehensible. If they have a good reading age it might be OK.

Have you asked at the local library? They might have subscriptions you could look at to get some idea.

I was going to suggest new scientist - it's quite readable for youngsters that age.

I would suggest dropping an email to the Royal Society of Chemistry, they may have resources they can recommend and they have an excellent eductaion department http://www.rsc.org/

For chemistry sets - look for an old one as they are great, most of the newer ones just contain bicarb and vinegar, and that's just not cool . Old practical books are the best for home experiments and you can still find things if you know where to look. I made all sorts of stuff when I was a kid (including some quite large craters in the garden!).

Thank you for the suggestions

I will look into links and hopefully will be able to find something they will enjoy.
