Snap Circuits SC-300 Kit

The Snap Circuits 300 kit has REAL electronic components. Just like the circuit boards that you see inside the TV, radios, computers and other electronic devices around the house. This is why this kit is so educational! You are actually learning something that can be applied in the real world.

And this Snap Circuits SC-300 set is perfect for helping any child learn about the simple electronic circuits and devices. Who knows? Your child may one day become a genius electrical engineer that figured out how to solve our energy shortages!

This is how the Snap Circuits SC-300 works. Your child is just going to easily snap the electronic elements together on a plastic grid while following the instructions. And then they will connect all the devices together with wire pieces that snaps easily in place.

And the things your children will be building! How about a speaker, alarm circuits, or a whistle chip? Or how about a LED, fan motor and a lamp socket?

As I mentioned earlier, you get an color-coded instruction manual that is easy to read. And there are over 300 projects (well, 305 projects to be exact) that your child can work on. The projects themselves are organized by the degree of difficulties. And each project teaches your child an objective.

For example, one objective is to "Show how electricity can only pass in one direction through a LED (light emitting diode)." This Electronic Snap Circuits by Elenco teaches useful skills that can be applied in the real world.

Your child will learn electronic concepts and experience a sense of satisfaction as they complete each project. However, Elenco (the manufacturer) recommends this kit to children of eight and up. Sometimes a parent may need to help their child figure out and explain how everything works. Again don't worry a thing! The instructions are actually very clear and make electronics simple to understand.

Actually, I think this is a great kit for the parents to brush up on high school science while helping the children out. My opinion is that the Electronic Snap Circuits
provides a unique learning experience for anyone that is interested in knowing how things tick. To be honest with you, I don't think you should be surprised at all if your child's report cards come back with higher grades after they play with this electronic kit. It is truly no wonder why they won so many awards!

Once more thing... you are going to need 4 AA batteries. So make sure you have some at hand on Christmas morning! Or you can grab some rechargeable batteries at the same time you get this kit. But recharge the batteries overnight so they are ready to go the next morning!!

Building electronic circuits has never been so much fun and it is easy too! There are lots of exciting projects to do. This Snap Circuits JR 100 is an excellent introduction to electronics.

The next kit I wanted to talk about is the Snap Circuits Pro 500. This is bigger than the 100 or SC-300 kits. There are over seventy five snap together parts as well as over 500 exciting projects and experiments that your child can do.

And the last one is the biggest of them all is Snap Circuits Extreme. In this electronic kit, there are over eighty parts as well as over 750 projects and experiments that your boy or girl can do. They will learn about electromagnets, solar power and vibration switches in addition to all the other experiments and projects that are included in the other kits mentioned above. This is truly the king of electronics set!
