Safety Precautions:
WARNING: Choking hazard - small parts. Not for children under 3 Years!
- Learn about electricity and magnetism, and how these two fundamental properties are closely related by conducting more than 60 electrifying experiments with circuits and magnetic contraptions
- This hands-on kit allows you to safely and easily experiment with electric current and magnetic fields using the colorful snap-together blocks and components
- Components are specially designed to make learning fun and accessible
- Electrical blocks fit together with simple plug-and-socket connectors
- The brightly colored blocks have unique shapes to make it is easy to follow the assembly diagrams to construct functioning devices
- Learn about the force of magnetism and magnetic poles by conducting tests to determine which materials are magnetic and which materials are not
- Magnetize a piece of metal or use iron fillings to make invisible magnetic fields visible
- Investigate magnetic force and direction with a magnetic pendulum device
- Learn about Earth's magnetic field and how a compass is affected by that field through a series of experiments using a sturdy electromagnet
- Build series and parallel circuits to light up a light bulb
- Experiment with push buttons and on-off switches
- Assemble circuits that include two switches, up to three light bulbs and a spinning motor
- Finally, put everything you have learned to good use by constructing a loudspeaker, an electromagnetic relay switch, and a Morse code telegraph key
- The instruction manual guides you through the experiments with easy-to-follow diagrams
- All Thames & Kosmos sets are safety tested and approved, offer thorough safety precautions, and come with full-color experiment manuals
- Correlates to Next Generation Science Standards
