Thames & Kosmos Electricity & Magnetism Science Kit | 62 Safe Experiments Investigating Magnetic Fields & Forces for Ages 8+ | Assemble Electric Circuits with Easy Snap-Together Blocks : Toys & Games

Description

The kit comes with 60 pieces, enabling children to build circuits and explore magnetic fields and forces. Components include magnets, a motor, a two-way switch, wires, and connectors to build the circuits. All components are listed in the manual along with a brief description and illustration. The full-color, 64-page manual provides detailed step-by-step instructions with easy-to-follow diagrams for conducting 62 experiments. Supplemental information explains why the experiments work the way they do and introduces children to important terms and processes essential to the study of electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism. The kit is organized into three main topics: electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism. Each section includes experiments on these topics, guiding children to build circuits, investigate the magnetic force of different materials, and more. All electrical experiments are powered by two AA batteries (not included). The experiments are thus performed with the very low and safe electrical voltage of only 3 volts. We use electricity every day. We only really tend to notice how much we depend on it when we don't have it. Electricity gives us light and powers televisions and radios, washing machines and refrigerators, electric ovens and stereo systems. But how does it actually work? Conduct the experiments to learn more! How would you like to explore the secret powers of magnetism? Dive into this mysterious world, which has been put to use by early seafaring explorers and today's high-tech engineers alike. What does electricity have to do with magnetism? Are they related or completely different natural phenomena? With the experiments in this kit, kids explore the strange connections between these two forces and learn about some of their useful applications. Product Description Conduct more than 60 electrifying experiments with circuits and magnets to learn about electricity and magnetism. Build series and parallel circuits to light up a light bulb. Experiment with push buttons and on-off switches. The blocks are brightly colored, unique shaped, and easy to build with. From the Manufacturer Conduct more than 60 electrifying experiments with circuits and magnetic contraptions to learn about electricity and magnetism, and how these two fundamental properties are closely related. Children eight and up can safely and easily experiment with electric current and magnetic fields using the colorful snap-together blocks and components in this hands-on kit. Build series and parallel circuits to light up a light bulb. Experiment with push buttons and on-off switches. Assemble circuits that include a spinning motor, two switches, and up to three light bulbs. Conduct tests to see which materials are magnetic. Learn about the force of magnetism and magnetic poles. Magnetize a metal. Use iron fillings to make invisible magnetic fields visible. Investigate magnetic force and direction with a magnetic pendulum device. Learn how a compass works and about Earth’s magnetic fields. Conduct a series of experiments with a sturdy electromagnet. Finally, put everything you have learned to good use by constructing a loudspeaker, an electromagnetic relay switch, and a morse code telegraph key. The components are specially designed to make learning fun and accessible. The electrical blocks fit together with simple plug-and-socket connectors. Because the blocks are brightly colored and have unique shapes, it is easy to follow the assembly diagrams to construct functional devices. The 64-page, full-color experiment manual guides you through experiments with easy-to-follow diagrams.
