Electricity and Battery-Making Kit

Looking for a hands-on way to introduce a child to the world of electricity and circuits? The Electricity and Battery-Making Kit from National Geographic is a fun and educational gift that will spark a child's curiosity and deepen their understanding of basic electrical concepts. The kit includes everything children need to build a functioning clock powered by a homemade battery. Only 2 potatoes and 2 AAA batteries are needed. The kit also includes a detailed learning guide with pictures, diagrams and “cool science facts” that are sure to enhance the educational experience. The clock even doubles as a voltmeter, so children can see the voltage produced. Once the clock is built, learning doesn’t stop. Children can experiment with other fruits and vegetables to test how much voltage they can generate, while making predictions and comparing results. This hands-on exploration helps build valuable skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and scientific inquiry. The Electricity and Battery-Making Kit is an excellent gift for home or as a classroom science project. It’s a perfect introduction to STEM concepts, combining engineering, science, and practical experimentation in a fun, interactive way. Plus, with the detailed guide and engaging experiments, children will have hours of hands-on learning fun while discovering how electricity works! -Reviewer Jennifer Heap
