Basic Electricity Kit

The Basic Electricity Kit has been designed as a low-cost, attractive and flexible alternative to the circuit-board approach to pupil investigations into simple circuits. Each component such as a switch, rheostat, bulb holder, etc. is mounted on its own individual plastic panel with 4mm sockets. The panels are then formed into circuits by connecting them together using 4mm stackable leads. This equipment is suited not just for teaching basic concepts about circuits, for key stage 2 students, but also has applications for further study into key stage 3 areas. Each kit is supplied in two polystyrene trays which keep the units organised.

Each kit includes: 1 x Teacher's Guide; 12 x Cell Holders (without cells); 20 x Bulb holders; 40 x Bulbs (4.5V, 0.3A); 12 x 4mm leads black 10cm; 12 x 4mm leads red 10cm; 4 x 4mm leads read 25cm; 4 x 4mm leads black 25cm; 4 x Rheostat units; 4 x universal clips; 8 x crocodile clips; 4 x silicone diodes; 4 x fixed resistors; 8 x push switches; 4 x changeover switches; 4 x electrode holders; 8 x soft iron rods; 12 x carbon rods; 50m copper wire, bare 20swg; 50g eureka wire bare 34swg; 50m insulated copper wire; 1 x sheet of copper foil 150 x 150mm; 1 x pack of steel wool; 2 x polystyrene storage trays.
