Product Description:
If you enjoyed Snap Circuits Light, hold onto your seat belts, because "Motion" kicks it up another notch! The set contains over 50 parts to create 165 energetic projects, including a lighted color-morphing fan, a merry-go-round, a motion detector, a mini car, an air fountain, spinning lighted patterns, and much more. Kids will get to experiment with concepts such as gear ratios, pulleys, tilt, circuitry, electronics, and physics. The unit requires four "AA" batteries, which are not included, and the set is compatible with all other Snap Circuits sets. - Jess
Publisher Description:
Snap Circuits® Motion contains over 50 parts and over 165 projects to complete -- all projects focused on concepts of motion and physics. Experiment with gears ratios using various gears and pulleys. Experiments include: Color changing lighted fan, air "fountain", motion detector and so much more! Fun projects let kids learn while they play! With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits® gives your child a hands-on education to discover how electrical circuits -- like those found in everyday devices kids are familiar with -- function and operate. They'll also gain valuable lessons in building and following instructions. The project manual includes large color illustrations and simple directions for each project.
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
