Cambridge BrainBox Primary2 Learning Electronics Kit for Kids 8+ Years
The Cambridge BrainBox Primary2 Kit is perfect to use in the classroom or at home. The Primary2 kit is designed to teach children the basic principles of electrics and electronics in a fun way. This learning kit is designed to teach children the basic principles of electricity and electronics in a fun way. It covers the requirements of the Science National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2 with links to Design and Technology and adds many extra exciting experiments for good measure! Due to the ease of construction, students are quickly rewarded and if the circuit does not work first time, it is easy to rebuild it. For young children, the brightly coloured parts makes it very easy to identify what goes where. The manual uses both block diagrams and circuit symbols, so students soon learn how to understand and interpret circuit diagrams.
How do the parts fit together? All the parts fit together with press-studs on a baseboard. Very little skill is required to assemble the components so making the kit suitable for all abilities.
What instructions are provided? The manual contains all the National Curriculum worksheets covering Key Stage 1 and 2 Science at levels 2F, 4F and 6G, complete with teacher/parent notes, it also shows all the circuits that can be built with the kit.
