Electricity for Young Makers

This is a wonderful large-print comic book that is a very simple introduction into basic electricity for the next generation. This book focuses on low-voltage direct current (DC) such as small household batteries (size AA), and magnets. This comic book has an emphasis on electrical safety including never playing with wall outlets, and only using small batteries. I like how it shows how to make a battery with items such as pennies, cardboard, and vinegar, as well as other simple electrical projects to learn electrical fundamentals with magnets. Even adults will learn something new while reading along. This book is perfect for your next science exhibit, and the best way to safely learn how to use electricity by making simple things. This comic book takes a hands-on approach to learning. Please take a look inside this comic book, because it has some required household materials to complete the projects including: safety glasses, sandpaper, scissors, paper towels, small cups, vinegar, duct tape, LEDs, ruler, needle nose pliers with wire cutters, craft sticks, rubber bands, battery # CR2032, cereal box, hot glue gun, index cards, magnet wire or enameled 30 ga copper wire, earphones, clear tape, 3 neodymium disc magnets, solid copper wire, 1-inch wood screw, AA battery, magnet or 22 ga enamel coated copper wire, & safety pins. Have fun making new things with DC electricity and magnets. :D

Fun and educational, parent help recommended

There only a few projects in this book. It's a good test for seeing if your kids want to continue this type of making without investing a whole bunch of money. More experienced makers are going to want to find another book.

Perfect for starting kids on the path to creating

Great for young minds!! It’s amazing how they love this book

so much fun for home or makerspace projects with a group!
