Safety Precautions:
WARNING: Choking hazard - small parts. Not for children under 3 Years!
- Electric motors and generators are an essential element in our modern world
- Almost everything we use today, including appliances and vehicles, have some type of motor or generator installed in them
- Build simple circuits using a motor or generator, wires and a light bulb to learn how electricity flows through a circuit
- Conduct experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion
- Discover how an electric generator is the opposite of an electric motor by converting motion into electricity
- Because the electric motor is made of transparent plastic, students are able to observe how the inside components work
- Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works and then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator
- Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again
- Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current
- The instruction manual will guide you through 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
Safety Precautions:
WARNING: Choking hazard - small parts. Not for children under 3 Years!
- Contains small magnets
- Contains functional sharp points or edges that pose a risk of injury
- Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing serious injuries
- Not suitable for children under 8 years
- Keep the experimental set out of the reach of children under 8 years old
- Keep packaging and instructions as they may contain important information
- This set contains chemicals and parts that may be harmful if misused
- Read cautions on individual containers and in manual carefully
- Not to be used by children except under adult supervision
