Snap circuits are a fantastic learning tool, but they don't always translate into "practical" scientific knowledge. This set seeks to remedy that, emphasizing the real-world applications of each of the 30 activities. Compared to other Snap Circuits, consider this an introductory set with integrated activities. Each "lesson" includes a fill-in-the-blanks style worksheet in which students troubleshoot projects and theoretical circuits as they progress to more complex builds. Includes 25 Snap Circuits along with a downloadable manual with 30 activities and a quiz.
