Basic Circuits Kit

This Basic Circuit Kit contains everything you need for an engaging, hands-on introduction to electricity and circuits!

Science Buddies scientists have selected quality electronic components that will last after repeated use, so you can explore all three Basic Circuits projects for an in-depth look at electricity and conductivity.

Using real electronics components inside this basic circuit kit, you’ll build and test a basic circuit and explore how electricity flows through the components.

Take your exploration of circuits and problem solving even further with this electricity kit by easily attaching additional components to your circuit! For example, you can add different materials to test which are the best conductors, create your own dimmer switch, explore parallel circuits, and more. The opportunities for DIY electric circuit projects with this basic kit are endless!

Online, step-by-step instructions guide you through each of these electrical circuits projects, and the supplies in this circuit building kit make it easy to take your basic circuits exploration to the next level.
