 Rating:  - Battery Science: Widgets that WorkI used this to teach my Webelos Scouts (age 10) how electricity works and make things go.

Requires fine motor skills; may be difficult for some to do without adult help. Rating: - This book is great!I got this book for my 11th birthday and I absolutely love it. My friend and I spent an entire day building many of the projects. The submersible worked well, but I had trouble getting the hovercraft to lift off. It's also possible to make your own designs work well. It's cool that they included a motor with gills so it can go under water. Rating: - Great Intro to ElectricityMy five year old son bought this book and it has proved to be fantastic. He cannot do the experiments by himself yet- we've been big helpers.

After undoing it and rebuilding it a second time he found success! |
