What does a compass have to do with the Earth's gravitational pull? How does an alarm system work? How are switches used correctly? Without any prior knowledge, children can quickly navigate this experiment kit from Kosmos and learn about electricity and magnetism through 60 exciting experiments. They will discover what electricity, current, and voltage are all about and gain an understanding of visible and less visible phenomena in everyday life. The 64-page manual guides children step by step through all the experiments, clearly and understandably showing how to set up the circuits and electrical connections of the kit, and provides numerous background information on electrical engineering and its presence in daily life on the follow-up pages.
