• Understand and use electrical systems in their products (for example, series circuits incorporating switches, bulbs, buzzers and motors).
• Science, Year 4, Electricity
• Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers.
• Science, Year 6, Electricity
• Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches.
• A cross-curricular STEM kit using solar renewable energy and battery holders to power motors, LEDs, and buzzers.
• Children will design their own working models, including fairground rides, pedestal fans, sun alarms, spinners, and fan boats.
• Teachers can enhance learning with this renewable energy STEM kit. It includes solar-powered kits, crocodile leads, buzzers, battery holders, card wheels, motor mounts, pulleys, foam sheets, and pom-poms. This supports group STEM activities, letting children explore renewable energy while building practical models like fairground rides and fan boats.
• In Design & Technology, the kit aids understanding and use of electrical systems in projects such as series circuits with buzzers. In Science, it helps construct simple electrical circuits, identifying and naming cells, wires and buzzers.
This kit supports hands-on science activities and various STEM projects. It provides materials for up to thirty children, working in groups of six, ensuring an engaging classroom experience.
