If you know somebody who has a job in anything to do with science, that would be a good place to start. My next door neighbour worked in a company making steel for pipes and pumps and I did a week of work experience with him. It was nothing like the science I’ve ever done before and it was really interesting to see science that I’d learnt in school being applied to the real world.
When you’re in sixth form or college you can apply for a Nuffield research placement http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/nuffield-research-placements. Some of my friends at school did these and they really enjoyed it. You get to work in a lab with real scientists doing your own project for a few weeks over the summer.
