ScienceWiz Inventions

All your child needs to experience the thrill of inventing are curiosity and this multiple-award-winning kit! The great inventor Ben Franklin himself would be proud of the four working electric devices your child will build, and then experiment with as they:

• set a motor turning,
• click out a message on a telegraph,
• make a light bulb flash with a generator, and
• pick up signals with a radio.

As your young Edison follows the instructions in the 40-page booklet by Penny Norman, Ph.D., they'll find engaging color illustrations - funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and the Franklin Foundation - that make each step in the process as straightforward as it is educational. Plus, everything your child needs is included in the kit, so they won't have to go hunting around the house for supplies.

When they're finished, your fledgling inventor will have an impressive collection of electric inventions they can proudly demonstrate, display, and continue to learn from for years to come.

Ages 8 and up.
