Hours Of Fun
Have hours of fun learning the basics of electronics with this kit. Build projects that make sound effects, different types of alarms, touch circuits, and games. With over 500 projects in this version, you learn how 7-segment displays, meters, relays, transformers and diodes work. There is even a recording IC included! All parts are mounted on plastic modules and snap together with ease.
About Electronic Snap Circuits:
Being a Timberdoodle 'chick' (a Timberdoodle is a bird) is not an easy assignment. Sure, you have immediate access to all sorts of leading-edge educational materials. But more often than not that means previewing new curricula while also keeping up with the old programs.
When We Previewed the Snap Circuit 300
So when Pearl, then eight, saw that Electronic Snap Circuits Kit had over 300 projects, she panicked. "Couldn't I just hope that I marry a man that already knows electronics?" she pleaded. Nope. The box said for ages eight and older and we had to know if the typical eight-year-old can follow the instructions and build the projects. We not only found out that an eight-year-old can utilize this kit, but that our initially reluctant eight-year-old loved it!
Whistle, Alarms, Fan...
The Electronic Snap Circuits Kit, with simple-to-construct projects, uses color-coded parts with snaps to assemble the different electrical and electronic circuits. Includes a switch, lamp, battery, and wire blocks of different lengths, plus such nifty items as a whistle chip, photosensitive resistor, speaker, fan, music-integrated circuit, alarm-integrated circuit and more. As your child progresses through the projects, many important design concepts are introduced and developed. With all the bells and whistles, and believe me, there is no lack of clanging bells or ear piercing whistles in this set, your child is sure to find electronics as captivating as Pearl did.
Learn Basic Electronics
Recommended for ages eight and up. An optional student and teacher guide is available separately. The project manuals include a brief description of how the parts work (the "About Your Snap Circuits Parts" page) and the projects you build are great for learning about electricity, electronics, and science. But for anyone who wants to learn more, a complete lesson in basic electronics is available in the optional
Student Guide.
