Thames & Kosmos Motors & Generators Science Kit | 25 Guided STEM Experiment Lessons | 48 Page Color Student Guide | Grades 3-6 | Ages 8+ | Play & Learn | Parents' Choice Silver Award Winner

Great project (s) to do with my grandson. Nice explanations and instructions. Got to see how Tesla’s motors can be turned into generators.

We used this for a homeschool lesson

This is a fairly simple product that can be assembled in no more than 2 minutes with older learners leading to a boredom factor with them. But for your pre teens this is a great way to help them understand various ways of creating energy. You can generate it by turning the crank around (somehow the fact that they are creating their own electricity keeps them from ever getting bored). Or you can tap into it by drawing from the battery case.Once your learners understand these ideas the authors have prepared a couple dozen ways of exploring their application to various situations. This product is a great way to introduce these concepts to your family.

Got this set to get my kid to understand some basic concepts. The experiments are easy to read and follow. My kid enjoys playing and experimenting with this set.

I really enjoyed assembling this kit! It had exactly what I'd wanted -- gears, magnets and coil, and a working mini generator. The kit does do a good job of illustrating the principles involved, and in a manner way more engaging than what is typically used in schools!! Or in my schools, anyway. The booklet was also very interesting. Overall, I think this item would make an excellent gift for an intellectually curious recipient!!As for its compatibility with other kits, specifically electronics, that's a good question! It does mention hooking up more than one generator together, so you ought to ask, because obviously, duh, that would be awesome!Overall, a fun purchase! Definitely giftable in my opinion.

My product expectations were me

I got this for my son hoping it would have some fun things for him to mess with. There is basically only two options that aren’t running it on batteries so I’m not impressed at all. Would not recommend it for the price.

This is an amazing product that also comes with a great booklet to use in your child’s science curriculum. I love it and so does my son. The kit is intuitive and can be easily put together, and it works. Five stars.
