Motors & Generators Science Kit | 25 Guided STEM Experiment Lessons | 48 Page Color Student Guide | Grades 3-6 | Ages 8+ | Play & Learn | Parents' Choice Silver Award Winner

I really enjoyed assembling this kit! It had exactly what I'd wanted -- gears, magnets and coil, and a working mini generator. The kit does do a good job of illustrating the principles involved, and in a manner way more engaging than what is typically used in schools!! Or in my schools, anyway. The booklet was also very interesting. Overall, I think this item would make an excellent gift for an intellectually curious recipient!! As for its compatibility with other kits, specifically electronics, that's a good question! It does mention hooking up more than one generator together, so you ought to ask, because obviously, duh, that would be awesome! Overall, a fun purchase! Definitely giftable in my opinion.

This is an amazing product that also comes with a great booklet to use in your child’s science curriculum. I love it and so does my son. The kit is intuitive and can be easily put together, and it works. Five stars.

This is a really neat set. The hand crank generator build and the lesson on magnets and electric engines are great. The only problem is that once you’ve done those two projects the set is basically done. The booklet is well written and has good explanations but the set is very limited in scope. Very entertaining for 10-15 minutes then kind of a bummer when you realize you’re done.

Got this set to get my kid to understand some basic concepts. The experiments are easy to read and follow. My kid enjoys playing and experimenting with this set.

This kit was a lot of fun to put together with several of my nephews and nieces. The instructions are very good and also informative. It produced enough current and voltage to drive a couple of LEDs I had laying around. It was pretty funny to see them wrap thier heads around how mechanical energy of turning a crank coupled with magnetism could generate electricity. The larger scale descriptions in the accompanying book were quite good.

I feel this is Over priced. The moment we opened it, it was great, putting the circuit together, but after 10 minutes it went to the shelf and has stayed there. Its really maybe a one time use kind of product. But Great Product, Good Quality. Maybe cool for a science project of some sort.

This is a simple kit that really teaches a lot of important concepts with only a few pieces. Back in the 1980's my parents owned a business that sold and rewound electric motors. This kit clearly demonstrates how electricity can use magnets to make motion (electric motor) or use motion to make electricity (generator). My kids love it so much they keep squirreling away the parts to play with, and it disappears. I highly recommend this kit, even over the other science kits that try to teach electrical circuits and other concepts.

Great project (s) to do with my grandson. Nice explanations and instructions. Got to see how Tesla’s motors can be turned into generators.
