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

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. From the Manufacturer Conduct more than 60
