Description
Cambridge Brainbox 500 Secondary 2 Kit
A fabulous starter set for electronics with over 500 experiments. These clever snap together electronic units means no more poor connections and badly fitted components. The snap helps you know you have a guaranteed flow of current and each component is safely mounted on easy to handle pieces.
The Cambridge Brainbox 500 Secondary 2 Kit includes software to turn your computer into an oscilloscope so that you can view the wave forms produced by the circuits.
The Secondary 2 Kit covers Electrical Circuits of the Science National Curriculum at Key Stage 3 and will also be useful in supporting Design and Technology at Key Stage 3. The kit includes 4 bulbs and bulb holders so that the effect of several lamps in series or parallel can be seen. A variable resistor and a digital multi meter are also included.
The manual includes Science National Curriculum worksheets and provides details of over 500 exciting experiments.
Initially students start by revising what was covered at Key Stage 2 and then go on to explore circuits by using a multimeter to measure such things as resistance, voltage, current and the relationship between them. Students find out about the action of fuses and experiment by testing their own.
