Students kit Everyday electricity and magnetism
This kit contains equipment and resources for scientific experiments covering multiple disciplines to study electrical processes and permanent magnetism.
In electrostatics there are experiments for demonstrating electrical charge and investigating how charges behave. In the magnetism section it is possible to study the properties of permanent magnets.
The key focus is on experiments to study the flow of current and on basic electrical circuits.
More advanced experiments allow the effects of electrical current to be investigated.
Age 11-14
