Basic Electricity Kit B

Basic Electricity Kit B is the perfect companion set to extend learning from Kit A (sold separately). It includes a broader selection of components to explore more advanced topics in electricity, such as resistance, electromagnetism, and the function of diodes and motors. Each part is mounted on robust yellow plastic bases with clearly marked 4 mm sockets, ensuring durability and ease of use in classroom settings. While Kit A introduces the basics, Kit B allows students to dive deeper into circuit experimentation, encouraging greater independence, scientific inquiry, and confidence with complex electrical systems. It's ideal as a class-shared extension kit, offering enough components to support open-ended exploration and teacher-led investigations.

Educational Benefits:

• Deepens understanding of advanced electrical concepts beyond basic circuits
• Enables exploration of real-world applications like electromagnetism and resistance
• Encourages scientific method through experimentation and troubleshooting
• Promotes critical thinking, engineering-style design, and collaboration
• Aligns with upper primary and secondary science curriculum outcomes

Classroom Ideas:

• Set up a rotating station for students to investigate how resistors affect circuit performance
• Create an electromagnet using the steel rods and wire to lift small objects
• Use diodes to demonstrate one-way current flow and explore the concept of rectification
• Allow students to construct circuits using buzzers and motors to simulate alarms or fans
• Integrate into lessons on energy transfer and efficiency in electric circuits
