- Reconstruct circuits to illustrate home electricity functions
- Gear playtime towards problem-solving activities and STEM
Grades: 3-5
The Snaptricity Kit contains over 40 parts, including motors, lamps, switches, and electrodes. In order to allow electricity to flow into these parts, students must connect them to the plastic snap wires and, when necessary, the jumper wires. These wires transport electricity just like pipes transport water and each of these parts easily snap onto any other component, allowing for simplistic inventing in the classroom, makerspace, or at home.
Circuit construction is made simple by the pieces in the Snaptricity Kit, but each one kids build must have a power source, a resistance, and wiring paths between them and back, illustrating the actual components needed to construct a working circuit. Just follow the project guides and students will know exactly where on the grid to place their parts, when to flick the switches, and how circuits and electricity work together to light up their lives!
*Requires 3 AA batteries—not included.
