Physics Electric Circuit Starter Kit

I bought this for my 8year son old is so interested in Engineering and he loved. The package arrived next day he made couple of things from it. It was easy for him to understand. Good value and fun. Surely recommend

Very good quality, everything works, the kids loved it

Amazing for my kids

Good product. The lights, fan and motors work very well.

I'd give it MINUS one star if I could. OK, you can make a wheeled cart but there's nothing in the box to help you fit anything to it -- even a few extra screws would have helped. It's got five bulbs and one holder, perhaps useful because they can be difficult to get hold of nowadays. Two unmountable switches -- they are designed as a push in fit into a rectangular cut out, which is not present on the baseboard. Two motors, arcanely described as 'red' and 'white'. Is there any difference between them -- we are not told -- maybe one of them is a stepper. who knows? A couple of battery holders and a few fragile fan blades. Oh -- there's the dodgy rheostat too. And of course the virtually unusable connecting wires. At each end they have a crocodile clip with insulation so slippery that it slides around whenever you try to open them, almost impossible for kids to use. And none of the electrical components has a decent sized lug to attach them to anyway, mostly tiny terminals which the clips just fall off as soon as anything moves. And finally there are the unusable gears, sixty of them. There are no shafts to mount them to and if there were, there is nothing to mount the shafts to. So do not expect to drive your cart's wheels through a gear chain from the motor. Finally, I nearly forgot -- there are the instructions that are just a bad joke.

Reading the mixed reviews I thought I would give it a go, now I’m siding with the 2 and 3 stars. It’s good for learning some of the basic principles but, the build quality is not that good - flimsily bits of plastic with jagged edges and sometimes components don’t work - the electromagnetic motor doesn’t even work sometimes! One thing’s for sure IT IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE do not spend your £55 on this it is not worth it, buy something else. Finally the instruction book has multiple spelling errors in it and these aren’t even complex words that are hard to spell!

My 8 Yr old daughter and her uncle who is 10 love playing with these! They really like it and get very excited when they play with it+ its educational allowing a fun learning experience while playing

It's not clear how all these parts can be used, there's no real education to it other than trial and error and you can't build the car without proper tools.
