Review: Great kit, useful not just for 8+ but also ... - Great kit, useful not just for 8+ but also for GCSE and IGCSE physics. I like the way you can build up the components of a motor and see why the magnets make a difference, for instance. Components feel solid and fit together well. Instruction booklet is great and streets ahead of the usual standard, with clear explanations. This kit ended up being indispensable in our KS3 science group when an alternative kit, ordered from a university science supplier, was hard to use. Review: Very well built and enjoyably educating - I got this for my 10 year old son and we really enjoyed working with it. The parts are well made and solid. The instruction manual is very well written and gives very interesting historical background to the experiments. I'd recommend highly. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 8 years.

He is an expert at Legos--building the 14-16 year old sets. He found this fun and it is still on the front of the toy shelf. T&K manuals are like mini-science books. They have been great to re-teach the mom too :) **Q: Seriously... gender - boy!?! really!? girls need to know about science and engineering, as well! the gender description should be removed!** A: Definitely for Girls, too! I’m with you there! Amazon needs to know that Electronic learning is not gender specific to Boys and needs to put the Electronic learning category under all genders! **Q: Does this set turn gears to make other sets parts move** A: There are 2 gears connected to a generator through a hand crank. There is a clear plastic cover over the gears so you can see how they mesh together as you turn the hand crank. **Q: Is this compatible with the Thames and Kosmos Electronics learning circuits series of kits as an alternative to the battery compartmentt?** A: I’m not sure. I didn’t purchase the circuits kit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit, useful not just for 8+ but also ... *by A***A on 14 July 2015* Great kit, useful not just for 8+ but also for GCSE and IGCSE physics.
