From series and parallel circuits to more
complex sensor-triggered electricity kits, we have a fabulous selection for any child interested
in how things work. Many are used in schools, linked to the National Curriculum
and all selected for their learning fun.
Logiblocs Electric
City
Logiblocs is back to support the coding and logic
work now in the curriculum. The push-fit plug and play blocks encourage the
systematic thought needed to create circuits and more hi-tech sensor, NOT, OR,
and AND gate-controlled systems. We love the instruction manuals packed with
project ideas.

Cambridge Brainbox Primary Plus 2 Kit
Brainbox is a simple 'Plug and Play' electronics set
with all parts designed for quick and easy assembly. The components are
connected with press-studs, making them suitable for all abilities. The
Cambridge Brainbox Primary Plus 2 Kit is three kits in one. It includes all
parts from the original Primary Plus kit with the addition of the parts from
the Primary 2 kit and the Sensors and Alarms . The Primary Plus 2 Kit has a
great manual and covers the requirements of the Science National Curriculum
with links to Design and Technology and adds many extra exciting experiments
for good measure! Due to the ease of construction, children are quickly rewarded
and if the circuit does not work first time, it is easy to rebuild it.
Hot Wire Set is the ultimate electronic starter kit.
Make anything from a flying disc to a burglar alarm, from a voice recorder to
an FM radio to even a lie detector with your Hot Wires Set! Follow the easy-
to-use instructions to become an electronics wizard. Over 100 exciting
experiments.

Power Tracks
A Coding and electricity toy in one! Connect the large
table-top tiles to make 1 of the 20 circuits or design your own. Use the
direction buttons to program Volty with commands to guide him around the
circuit. Discover Volty's hidden features as he travels over the special tiles. Age 5+
Cool Circuits
Puzzle
Looking for a challenge? This tough game challenges
you to complete an electrical circuit using eight seemingly simple pieces - but
don’t be fooled, it's pretty tricky. This puzzle has various levels of
difficulty and requires quick wit, perseverance and ingenuity to solve the
challenges set.
Choose one of forty paper puzzle cards and lay it
across the puzzle box to get you started. Lay down the eight, fluorescent
puzzle pieces, which can be flipped as well as rotated in several different
ways, to solve the puzzle – there’s only one correct solution to each puzzle!
Once the full circuit is complete the blue LED lights come on, sounds
start and the show begins.

4M Water Powered
Clock
Time well spent with this awesome set! Build a
digital clock, add water and the clock starts working. Use STEM
principles to observe how batteries work with this scientific project kit.
Age 8+
Thames and Kosmos
Learning Circuits
Construct circuits with colourful electric building
blocks to learn about electricity and how electronic devices work. With the
innovative snap-together blocks in this kit, children eight and up can safely
and easily begin experimenting with electronic circuits. The fun building
projects include an alternating blinker, a police siren, an ambulance siren, an
alarm system, a light detector, a conductivity tester, a rain warning system, a
timer, and logic circuits.
The electronic components in this kit include
capacitors, resistors, transistors, LEDs (light emitting diodes), a
phototransistor, a switch, 30 contact blocks, cable blocks, a battery holder, a
speaker, and a sound integrated circuit. The 64-page, full-colour experiment
manual guides you through 70 circuit building experiments with easy-to-follow
diagrams.
Age 8+
Electrokit 88
Complete 88 electrical experiments,
involving motors, switches, lights and sounds! A clearly worded instruction
manual assists with assembling circuits and understanding how they work.
Designed for easy assembly the components easily snap together. Older children
can increase their knowledge and understanding of electronics by designing
their own circuits. Also includes a brief history of electricity.
Age 8-14
Thames and Kosmos
Advanced Circuits
Tap into the awesome world of electronics with this
advanced system of snap-together electric building blocks. Start out by
experimenting with colourful light-up circuits as you dive into the basics of
electricity. Install a sound module to generate the sounds of police cars,
ambulances, or fire engines. Learn the important role resistors and
potentiometers (variable resistors) play in an electronic circuit.

Motors and Generators
Electric motors and generators are in countless
devices, appliances, and vehicles and are an essential technology in our modern
world. Children can now explore the fascinating world of electronics through
their own science experiments at home with the Motors and Generators Science
Kit from award winning Thames & Kosmos.
There are 25 experiments to conduct that will guide
children through areas such as how an electric motor converts electricity into
motion as well as how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting
motion into electricity. The kit includes an electric motor made of transparent
plastic to show how the inside components work and with which they can build
simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb
to learn about the flow of electricity.
This child's science kit also has experiments with
magnets to learn how magnetic fields relate to electric current. A great
introduction to the world of electronic, Motors & Generators comes with a
full colour 48-page manual full of facts and step-by-step instructions for all
the experiments.
