Electricity Set for High School (Includes the Electricity Course as a pdf digital download)
Click Circuits - A modern approach to classroom electricity.
INCLUDED in this purchase is the 10 lesson workbook - downloadable pdf version
This set has been created by Jacob Strickling, a Physics teacher of 25 years.
Each set is comprehensive, encompassing all the necessary equipment for conducting every electricity experiment from Years 7 to 10, as well as covering a significant portion of the HSC Physics Course electricity and magnetism experiments (including electromagnet)
Furthermore, these sets do not rely on mains power, allowing for versatile usage in any setting.
We have received encouraging feedback indicating that 4 x AA batteries last an entire academic year in schools where the equipment sees regular use.
Teachers greatly appreciate this equipment as it eliminates tangled and perplexing wires. The user-friendly design facilitates easy troubleshooting of improperly set up circuits, aiding students in their understanding.
These sets have been specifically designed by us to complement our High School Electricity Course, ideal for students aged 11 to 15.
To accompany the workbook is a 10 lesson, 5 hour YouTube video found on our 'Tiny Science Lab' YouTube channel - search 'Tiny Science Lab High School Electricity Course' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhVYPQQF_AY
All up, it is expected students will take approximately 10 hours to complete the Course.
Testimonial from a respected Science Teacher
'This equipment is no novelty, it is real quality hands on education.T hanks for creating the product and sharing it with the rest of us.'

4xAA batteries not included
NOTE: There is a variation of this set which includes a digital multimeter instead of the analogue meters. Included are the necessary leads and clips to integrate the multimeter with the circuits.
The Solar Panel is NOT included - but can be purchased separately and is perfect for renewable energy experiments.
Quite a few schools have been purchasing multiples of these Electricity Sets.
As each electrical piece has its own place in the sturdy infill, they are easy to keep neat and tidy.
Tiny Science Lab stocks all the parts separately so if anything goes missing it is easy to replace! Having said that, one of customers is a large public high school and they have 20 of these sets. At the end of each year they have been putting in an order circa $25 total for spare parts!
The sets can be easily moved from room to room and as they do not need mains power they can be used in any room.
The sets also store very neatly and can be stacked on top of each other.
The container is 350mm long by 265mm wide by 42mm thick.
Set has a weight of 0.92kg
