- Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day and are an essential technology in our modern world
- Conduct experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting motion into electricity
- The electric motor is made of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work
- Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works and then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator
- Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current
- Build simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity
- Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again
- Manual guides and teaches you through experiments with easy-to-follow diagrams
- All Thames & Kosmos sets are safety tested and approved, offer thorough safety precautions, and come with full-color experiment manuals
- Correlates to Next Generation Science Standards
- Kit contains: 25 Experiments, 12 pieces, and 48 page color experiment manual
