Synopsis

Designed for use at home and at school, this book on electricity is part of a series which provides an introduction to science. It gives step-by-step instructions for projects, activities and practical demonstrations which are intended to encourage creative thinking and independent exploration. By discovering how to "make it work", the reader actively both absorbs scientific information and learns scientific method. In this book an explanation of static electricity, simple and complex circuits, batteries and light bulbs is given with suggestions for simple experiments. Methods are described for the construction of a circuit game to illustrate flowing electric current, the making of various switches, Morse code tappers and a circuit board. To reinforce the fact that electricity and magnetism are closely related to each other there are also projects for the illustration of magnetic force and the making of both a motor and an electric train. Through these projects it is hoped youngsters will quickly develop an inderstanding of the scientific principles encountered around them.
