(Electricity Investigation Kit
Learn about parallel and series circuits, motors, electromagnets and solar power with this introductory kit. Using the scientific method, kids can do seven electricity projects, including building circuits, charging a battery with a solar cell, and more. Kit includes materials for the experiments plus a study guide. Ages 12 & up.Want to use this kit for a science fair project? See our experiment ideas below to get you started.
