Experiment Set Electric Circuits

From batt-man to the shaky roller coaster with the buttonhole lamp to a robotic game.

The simple components in this case can be used to create fascinating technical devices such as vehicle illumination, electromagnets, heat sources or a "shaky roller coaster". The experiments help train manual dexterity and precise observation skills.

The experiments help children look behind the electric devices and technology that surrounds them and makes it easier for them to understand how to build their own technical devices. They will learn how to produce different kinds of electric circuits to demonstrate what can be produced using electrical energy: light, warmth and movement. These experiments are simple and comprehensible for the children and can be easily related to their environment.

The materials provided in the case offer a variety of child-friendly experiments on the topic of electric circuits. The individual steps can be done in groups or at a single workstation.
The set contains materials for up to 15 groups and experiments for 33 workstations, including corresponding copy templates. A teacher's guide contains instructions for all the steps.

- Seven times the risk to life
- How can you protect yourself against electric shocks?
- The shaky roller coaster
- The robot game

All the materials are supplied in a plastic case where everything has its fixed place in the foam insert. This makes it easy to check everything is there and the individual components won't fall around during transport.
An illustrated overview provides a good summary of where each piece belongs and can be quickly removed and replaced thanks to the hook and loop fastening.
