Be Amazing Toys Energy Stick

Product Information

Awesome science set bursting with loads of components to complete seven amazing, gravity defying projects! Explain the theory of operation behind your approach -- how does connecting the two ends by a very, very high resistance connection result in operation?

For example, what happens when they add an extra motor, use a battery with a higher voltage, change the length of the wires etc. Is the board needed for the thing to work at all, or can the LED light up if the board is removed and the output wires tied directly to the battery? Now you're clear on what the children need to know and havethe background science under your belt, you're ready toapply theseideas for teaching electricity to your class!

Also, we have no idea what the circuit board is going, so it's going be very hard to tell you how to get things to do what you want. A handy little gadget, ideal for teaching basic circuits in KS1, where you can introduce the idea of how a switch works.

Read More a commitment to quality and safety, it's the perfect destination for anyone seeking the ideal gift for a child. It is true that I anticipate the LED would only be on for 10 to 20 seconds at a time but there would also be countless occasions that I wouldn't have control over that. You can use it at any time, but it is particularly useful for finding out what children know at the beginning of a topic or assessing their understanding near the end. It will also turn on if two people hold it without holding hands but both participants are standing on a tiled floor not wearing shoes. I live abroad and the postsl service is terrible so the gift wrapping and card message service is so handy for sending gifts to family at home.I guess I shouldn't be too surprised when some math books "teach" exponentials and logarithms by showing pictures of which button to press on a calculator when you see one in a formula.

One was even a video where the guy breaks open the plastic tube, points to a wire connected to the metal tabs and then points to a circuit board and that's it -- end of video. Sorry about the hand drawn circuit but I find it quicker than using Eagle PCB software to draw circuits. With three blinking LEDs, this fun toy is sure to impress your friends and cause a buzz in the playground! The Energy Stick features electrodes on each end and when they are touched simultaneously to complete the circuit, long-lasting LED lights inside the tube flash and the tube makes amazing buzzing noises. You can use the instantaneous response of the energy stick to discuss how the energy must already be present in the parts of the circuit (including themselves!I have built several versions on the breadboard but the LED switches on when I touch only one end of the energy stick. It works by making a circuit by touching it either with one hand or two separate hands or even with 20 people in a circle holding hands. To teach a tricky concept, such as electricity, we recommend you keep it simple, hands-onand relevantto your pupil’s everyday experiences.
