Science Wiz Inventions Book and Experiment Kit by ScienceWiz ElectroWiz
The award winning ScienceWiz Inventions expands on the concept of electricity (as introduced by ScienceWiz Electricity) for the older child, age 8 and up. Children get to build a spinning motor, a clicking telegraph, a working radio, and a light flashing generator from basic materials. This kit is designed to develop a deep understanding of how these inventions work. Years of testing with children has produced this carefully crafted set of doable projects.
Science Wiz Inventions book features step-by-step, highly visual instructions that lead children successfully through each invention. Incredible illustrations present central scientific concepts, allowing children to discover the ""why"" as well as the ""how"". The use of everyday materials demystifies the way common electronic components work. A great gift for any scientist in training or for a child that need some help bridging the gap between the theory of science and electricity and how it applies in the real world.
Although Inventions is designed for children 8 years old and up, ScienceWiz Inventions has had an extraordinary history and following. It has been used at MIT to mentor high school students in physics. It has been used at U.C. Berkeley to mentor women in science. It has been used similarly at other institutions including Fermi Lab and the University of Texas at Austin. Inventions also received a rave review from the Women's Society of the IEEE. They used Inventions for camp programs for elementary school students. The review boasted: ""The projects actually WORK""....even for large groups where individualized attention is not possible.

The following developmental skills and benefits are encouraged by Science Wiz Inventions Book and Experiment Kit learning toy:
Science Wiz Inventions Book and Experiment Kit develops Motor skills Motor skills are actions that involve the movement of muscles in the body. They are divided into two groups: gross motor skills, which include the larger movements of arms, legs, feet, or the entire body (crawling, running, and jumping); and fine motor skills, which are smaller actions, such as grasping an object between the thumb and a finger or using the lips and tongue to taste objects or for speech.
Science Wiz Inventions Book and Experiment Kit develops Fine motor skills Fine motor skills involve a refined use of the small muscles controlling the hand, fingers, thumb, wrists, feet, toes, lips, and tongue.
The development of these skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as writing, drawing, buttoning and speech. Fine motor abilities develop over time, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects, that develop into basic grasping and manipulation skills to more precise activities that involve precise hand-eye coordination in preschool years and onwards.
The preschooler becomes quite adept in self-help, construction, holding grips, and bimanual control tasks requiring the use of both hands. When the child enters middle childhood they make great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express themselves through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling.
Science Wiz Inventions Book and Experiment Kit develops Hand Eye Coordination Hand-eye coordination is the ability of the vision system to coordinate the information received through the eyes to control, guide, and direct the hands in the accomplishment of a given task, such as handwriting or catching a ball
Science Wiz Inventions Book and Experiment Kit develops problem solving/Cognitive Development Cognitive development is the process by which the brain develops the abilities to learn, remember and solve problems.
The foundation for these abilities starts during infancy as the brain begins forming countless synapses, or connections, between brain or nerve cells. The brain is made up of neurons (nerve cells resembling long wires).
When a baby is born there are relatively few connections between the neurons, and it is you and your baby's primary task to make new ones. Connections (synapses) between brain cells are made when a baby receives stimulation. As you engage and responds to your baby, you are helping to activate the formation of synapses. The synapses will combine to form neural pathways, and the configuration of those pathways will determine the child's ability to learn, relate to people, manage emotions, and function in the world.
