Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other
Other methodologies
Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory

Description

Kids are fascinated by electronics, but most experiments are best left to the experts. This circuit kit sets out to change that! This advanced system of snap-together electric building blocks is the next best thing to opening up an electronic gadget and peering at its internal components. Kids will learn the principles of basic electronics by building circuits with various uses, ranging in difficulty from simple to complex. Some of the experiments include: installing a sound module to generate the sounds of police cars; using a multimeter to measure invisible voltage; investigating transistors in switches to learn how the logical circuits in computers work; and building circuits that use sensors to detect temperature. Some circuits sound by hooking into a sound module, others light up LEDs, and others simply measure electric current. You'll even build an alarm clock! The kit includes over 140 electronic components. No matter what you build, you'll learn something new.
