Description
Children will be "shocked" (in a strictly intellectual way!) to learn that with just a few wires, batteries, bulbs and buzzers they can unlock the mysteries and magic of electricity. Get right down to the "nuts and volts" of the matter! These simple and safe experiments will prove "enlightening" on everything from electrons to circuits to wattage. You can bring alive the science theory taught at school with simple projects using everyday household materials. Bend paper with a comb that is "charged up" with static electricity; Find out what lemons, potatoes and coins have to do with electricity; Use them to discover how a battery works; Make a battery of your own; See for yourself how electrical opposites attract; Construct a circuit board; Send a coded message with a buzzer; Lots of fun with of other great experiments...Simple and safe experiments - no mains electricity involved, nothing stronger than a 6-volt battery. In full colour: with step-by-step colour illustrations and full colour humorous cartoons.
