This content area covers circuits, switches, sensors and the components that control them, LEDs, LDRs, thermistors and relays, all wired to demonstrate one electrical principle at a time. Every kit here stays within the GET band's 9V DC maximum, powered by a battery.
A first light circuit and a sensor-driven alarm teach very different things, so kits range from a basic series circuit through to LDR and thermistor-based sensing builds.
From a first circuit to a working sensor.
A light circuit with a switch and globe is the standard starting point for Grade 7, wiring the simplest complete circuit.
Fire, laser and moisture alarm kits use LDRs and thermistors to switch a circuit on or off automatically.
Two circuits wired side by side, one series, one parallel, make the difference between the two wiring types visible at a glance.
A hand-crank generator or electromagnet kit shows the link between motion, magnetism and electricity.
