Publisher's Synopsis
ScienceWiz® Electricity: This children's classic, with its touch of whimsy, should be your child's FIRST electricity book. The Electricity kit includes a highly visual, full color, step-by-step, 40 page science book. It enables young children (5-10 year olds) to independently discover basic concepts in electricity. Materials are included except for the battery. There are 18 projects in Electricity. These include building circuit loops to light lights, buzz buzzers and spin pinwheels. Using the motor and paper discs, children also explore spin art. They build a switch to open and close circuit loops and use the switch to send coded messages to a friend. Children also test what materials conduct electricity and what do not. Thus they learn what materials make good conductors and what make good insulators insulators. By comparing one loop circuits to two loop circuits, they discover the differences between series and parallel circuits.
