I gave this as a gift and additional things were needed to perform the experiments (i.e. paper clips, batteries, etc). I don't have a problem with this but would have liked to have known so I could have had a little bag with me with the additional items. We had taken it on a long plane ride and it was disappointing not to be able to do some of the fun stuff in the book.

My husband was looking for a build-it-yourself electric motor kit as a Christmas present for our nine-year-old son. This not only fit the bill, but also included experiments and other building ideas. It was more than just "build an electric motor and watch it work".
My husband and son spent some good "man time" building together. My son was all excited to be able to have generated a tenth of a volt with just wires and a magnet, and my husband was in his electrical engineer glory. drawing charts and waves by way of explanation.
Awesome!

This was an excellent product to teach me and my children about both how electricity is created, but how to actually build a generator itself.
The progressive experiments provided a clear learning path that was accentuated by the the clear and informative instructions for each exercise.
