5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for student project
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021
Thank you so much for this simple but very educational project.
My 4th-grade grandson used it as one of his homework assignments ... "worked like a charm".
It also provided the opportunity to learn how to strip end wires for connections to components.
Thank you ... frank escontrias

The cover arrived quickly. It fit my daughters pack and play perfectly. Very easy to put on as it stretches. Zipper opening makes it easy to get her in and out. She has been taking easy naps for a week now. #BLESSED

This was awesome to put together with my 8 year old. There were no instructions, but I emailed the company and they sent them to me. I really only wanted them because I wanted this to be his project to put together, but he needed my help with cutting/stripping the wire and I had to explain the simple circuit concept for him to really get it. Fun to do, and worked wonderfully. It was cheaper to buy this kit then purchase each component individually at a local electronics store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for teaching series and parallel circuits

This turned out to be a good product. Because I was working with a group from ages 6-16, I used all the parts except the wire. I used aluminum foil strips because they were easier to attached than the wire. All the other parts worked perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great kit for the basics
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015
Awesome kit for basic series and parallel circuit investigations in the classroom. One rating mentioned they had experience with electricity but there was nowhere to attach wire. They must have gotten a different kit than the one shown and the one I received. The battery holders have tabs on each end with a little hole the wire goes through and the bulb holders have the typical fasteners that you push down, slide the wire through and then release so it pinches the wire. I highly recommend buying different wire. The wire included is braided. I would get coated solid wire because it is much easier to strip and use.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017
I don't often write - but this was the most economical kit I could fine, and I paired with a set of ($5.97) alligator clips and my 5 year old and I had a ball making circuits in series, noting the brighter light of the bulbs when we used two batteries, etc. I'm sure most of these things are available at our corner hardware store, and I might augment from there - but with it -18 this morning, Amazon Prime delivering to our door is a plus! I do think for young kids the alligator clips saved some frustration as I read here the wires have to be "doctored" a bit to get it to work. Alligator clips are still a challenge for little fingers, but makes her feel like a real scientist!

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2024
Very hard to thread the wire into these tiny holes beside the battery holders. It took many tries. Everything‘s a little bit flimsy, but we got everything together and nothing worked. The batteries were dead that came with the kit. Swapped them out for new batteries and it worked fine.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015
The kit is great and is easy to use with scientists of all ages. Unfortunately, the positive and negative is not clearly marked on the bulb socket and we blew every bulb. The "alarm" sounds like my school's fire alarm system, but much quieter, which confused one of my kids. If you have any exceptionally literal kids, explain the sound to them first!
