After that he was hooked, first building more complex circuits – in series and parallel – while adding resistors and light emitting diodes.

Miss M age 9 was very excited to try this out as apparently has recently done a similar experiment at school with some wires and a light bulb so she was eager to get started and see what she could create.

Things from around the house such as old spoons, empty plastic bottles, balloons, squeezy bottles etc. These can be used as props in play so that your child can pretend that they are talking with their friends. We will use your data to personalise and improve your experience on our digital platforms and to send you relevant products and offers we think you'll love. The Hot Wires electronics set is a 67-piece set and comes with over 100 experiments and circuits to build involving light, sound and movement, supporting the National Curriculum.

They will take a normal microscope slide but can also be used without the stage so you can put it straight onto the surface that you want to look at. As the book continues the experiments become more than simple circuits with the addition of sound IC units for burglar alarms and lie detectors (requires moisture on a sensor) and light sensitive photo resistor.

My eldest son who is now studying A level physics even used it recently when learning about capacitors and he says it was also useful to him when studying GCSEs! The magnification isn’t huge at x40 but this is plenty to make everyday objects way more interesting.

The John Adams Hot Wires kit cleverly boosts interest in experiments 2 and 3, after teaching the most basic (lighting a lamp) circuit in experiment 1.

For example, if a child wants to play with cars but can't yet reach them without climbing up on furniture or standing on boxes, then consider purchasing an attachment that allows them to play with cars without having to stand up or climb up things.
