## Description

Product Description 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.

Review: Interesting Electricity & Magnetism Set - My 9 year old son is obsessed with anything having to do with building circuits and recently has been interested in magnetism, so this seemed a good set to try next. It did not disappoint. Some of the pieces were a little tricky to snap together, but I didn't mind helping him. It seems to get easier the more he uses it. He found it very engaging overall. I love the explanations for what is going on in each experiment. Definitely recommend for any child who is into this sort of thing.
Review: It is great triggering the curiousity of someone who has no background ... - My 8 year old enjoys and is learning a lot from this kit. It is great triggering the curiousity of someone who has no background in electricity or circuits. While the parts look simplistic, they are designed as small blocks (like legos) so you can experiment with many different ways of assembling them to see what happens. You can try as many different combinations as you can imagine, and the surprising results (which lights turn on or off, whether or not the fan blows, etc) make you think hard about why and how the electricity works the way it does (especially when you have multiple circuits running in parallel and things like that). The simple block format makes it attractive to a child who wants to play but isn't a hard-core techie (yet). Having said that, the instruction booklet is perhaps overly complicated, describing the experiments and questions in ways that become boring to my daughter. We'll see if that changes as she gets more experienced with it. And because of that complexity, the magnetism experiments aren't so interesting to her as the electricity experiments.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would a 13 year old enjoy this kit**
A: If they are already familiar with the concepts it is probably to basic for them. I gave it to my 9 year old and she easily understood it and explored it in her own. She did enjoy it very much and then used some of the parts to turn a homemade solar car into one that used batteries.

**Q: How long does it take to assemble a circuit? Science class is 30 min long. Do you recommend assembling it in advance?**
A: Depends on the circuit.  I’d build several at home and disassemble…and be ready based on the actual project.  It would have to be a fairly simple project to go start to finish and tested in 30 min. IMO.  Good luck! M 😀

**Q: Are replacement manuels available?**
A: Thank you for your question. You can access the digital experiment manual for our Electricity & Magnetism kit here: http://thamesandkosmos.com/manuals/full/620417_electricitymagnetism_manual.pdf

If you wish to have a physical copy of the manual sent to you, please reach out to us at support@thamesandkosmos.com

**Q: Is there any booklet to explain theory ? Make kid understand instead of just following instructions to build**
A: Yes, there’s a booklet that explains the basics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great activity for my 10 yr old
*by S***N on March 6, 2014*

This was perfect. When you open the box everything is has its own little spot so it is easy to find everything and when your child is done everything goes back into the same little cubby. Nothing gets just thrown into a box and end up floating around. The directions are very clear and their were just enough pieces to offer a variety of things to do without having it be overwhelming, or on the flipside, too simple. He is at the age where he likes to do things himself with minimal assistance - he was able to do that with this activity. The first time my son used this it kept him occupied for well over an hour and he only broke away to show us the end results when the light came on or the fan starting running. I do suggest giving a family size pack of batteries with this. He drained the 2 AA batteries completely dead in that first one hour usage.
