Physics in a Briefcase 5: Electricity Part 1

The Electricity Part 1 kit from the Physics in a Briefcase series enables conducting a dozen or so electricity-related experiments in accordance with the accompanying worksheets included in the instruction manual. The kit allows quick and easy circuit assembly by using the mounting board for electrical circuits and the components included in the set. All components are housed in an aluminum case lined with a rigid foam insert with cutouts matched to the items in the set. Sample experimental configurations. This electricity experiments kit is well suited for numerous experiments during physics lessons. Dimensions: 47 cm x 13.5 cm x 40 cm. The kit is compatible with Neulog sensors.
