Snap Circuits SC-300 – Designed To Encourage Kids To Learn Science
My 9 year old nephew opened the box and within 5 minutes had completed 2 experiments and learned the meanings of open and closed circuits and the necessity of a complete circuit. The parts snap together. The directions are so clear and easily followed. The pieces all fit. My nephew was excited. The whole family was impressed. Wow!
Snap Circuits SC-300 is an amazing toy for your kids. Designed to encourage kids to learn and like science by learning basic electronics. Your kids will definitely love this toy. Snap Circuits SC-300 by Elenco is an award-winning toy for budding engineers eight years old and above. The Snap Circuits SC-300 model includes over 60 parts for creating more than 300 exciting projects. With lights, sounds, motors, and more, your kid will not only enjoy creating beeping games, but will also learn about basic electronics as well!
This educational kit is loaded with more than 300 projects to build. For example, kids can learn how transistors and capacitors function, and how to make time-delay circuits. In addition, this version includes circuits showing how oscillators and photo sensors work. Projects involve an AM Radio, Burglar Alarm, Radio Announcer and more.
Snap Circuits SC 300 comes with instruction manual that offers 305 projects ranging from a simple light switch to a noise-activated burglar alarm. The color-coded instruction manual is clear and easy to understand, and kids will have no problems creating any of the projects. The projects are organized by levels of difficulty, and each project teaches an objective such as “To show how electricity can only pass in one direction through an LED.”
Creating a flying UFO from “scratch” with rudimentary electronic pieces was highly satisfying to us, and we think Snap Circuits SC 300 may well help young students gain and foster an appreciation for, and interest in, how electronics work and are built.
For students who are already learning about electronics in school, this set creates a hands-on experience that makes it more fun and easily understood than reading about how these things work in a textbook. So don’t be surprised if report cards come back with higher grades after your kids playing with this toy.
The Elenco Electronic Snap Circuits would make a great parent-child bonding experience that is both educational and fun. As you work through each project with your child, don’t be surprised when you, too, are learning something new and interesting. And after you’ve completed all the projects, you can create your own! The combinations are limitless!
Your kids will definitely experienced a sense of satisfaction as they completed each project, and they definitely learned about electronics concepts. The manufacturer recommends the set for ages 8-10. Your kids should be able to easily follow the diagrams for each project, but will probably require their parents to help explain how everything works.
So a word of warning to parents: Brush up on your high school physics! Although the instruction offers some good information, you probably would found that you still need to brush up on the physics that you have learned years ago so you could understand concepts such as the difference between a circuit in parallel and in series.
