Online Discovery Electricity in Bloomington, MN

ScienceWiz® Electricity with Online Discovery
: 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.
This Online Discovery version of Electricity includes a
flip-book with embedded animations, videos, games,
interactive simulations, and
an online-circuit construction kit.
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. By comparing one loop circuits to two loop circuits, they discover the differences between
series and parallel circuits
.
The kit includes a handle box for easy storage and transport.
