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
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical

Description
The newest in the Snap Circuits line, Snapino introduces elementary students to coding and programming using the Snapino module, which includes an Arduino UNO circuit board. This is a mini computer that can be programmed to perform different tasks.
The set includes one each 2-snap, 3-snap, and 5-snap wire; 9V battery holder w/ switch; mini base grid; red LED; green LED; red/yellow bi-color LED; white jumper wire; red snap-to-pin wire; phototransistor; resistor; press switch; Snapino module; USB cable; and instruction manual. The instruction manual includes important information about each piece in this set and their functions; an introduction to electricity; dos and don'ts of building circuits; troubleshooting; project instructions; an introduction to microcontrollers; and how to install the software and use it. After doing projects 1 and 2, you should be familiar with the functions of the pieces - now you are ready to program for the rest of the projects. Once you have installed the free software at www.arduino.cc (for Windows, Mac, and Linux), you are ready to program alternating lights, stoplight, bicolor light, light monitor, and more.
This set is compatible with other Snap Circuit sets, but to be used only with the 9V battery holder included or with a USB cable. Don't use with other Snap Circuits battery holders or other power sources.
If you have a younger student interested in coding and electricity, this set is a great hands-on introduction to the concepts. The Snapino module and snap circuit components offer immediate application of what students are learning. ~ Donna 1.
Publisher's Description of Snap Circuits Snapino
Snapino is an introduction to the open-source Arduino hardware-software coding environment embraced by the Maker community worldwide. Arduino is the most popular microcontroller used by Makers and Do-It-Yourselfers to MAKE and DO. No need for bread boarding since Snap Circuits® snap together and make prototyping circuit designs a snap! - Our Snapino module is an Arduino UNO board with all normal features and is compatible with other Arduino shields and components. - Snapino can be used with other Snap Circuits® sets to make larger circuits. - Includes 20 projects that gradually introduce you to Arduino coding with sketches (programs) already written for operating the 14 included parts. Additionally, you will find sketches written for Snapino with other Snap Circuits® sets so you can keep your fun going. - Includes Arduino UNO compatible Snapino Module, 6 Snap Circuits® modules, 3 snap wires, snap jumper wire, snap-to-pin wire, USB cable, 9 volt battery holder, and manual. - Ages 12 and up- Requires one 9 volt battery (not included). You will need to download the Arduino application from Arduino's website and download Snapino Sketches (programs) from the Elenco® website.

Category Description for Electronic Snap Circuits
These easy-to-use circuit kits are composed of over 30 easy to snap "blocks" of all necessary electronic components, similar to those used in Switch On!. An impressive number of projects can be made using these parts, including an electric light, a sound activated switch, lamp and fan, two-speed fan, laser "gun." police siren, clap sounds, blinking double flashlight, motor sounds, strobe lights, motor-controlled lamp, lamp/speaker/fan in parallel, pencil alarm, touch motor, bomb sound, simple water alarm, and many, many more projects and games. Each project is listed in the booklet, and featured in a half-page layout which includes a full-color diagram of the finished setup, objective, and directions. The parts are all labeled on the diagram, making it easy to set up the project, and the directions include an explanation of how the circuit works, so maybe after the thrill of creating their own laser "gun" or water alarm wears off, they'll come back and actually figure out how it works. A fairly detailed orientation to the parts in the kit and their functions, safety guidelines, parts checklist and a troubleshooting guide are all included at the beginning, so students can complete the projects safely - and get a lot more from the kit than just "making cool stuff." Looking back from beyond college, I definitely recommend any child looking to the science route in college to play around a bit with one of these kits - it honestly does make understanding circuits and charges at the college level a little easier. This is definitely too fun to be "science!" A Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products Winner. - Jess
