Electronics For Kids

Why do the lights in a house turn on when you flip a switch? How does a remote-controlled car move? And what makes lights on TVs and microwaves blink? The technology around you may seem like magic, but most of it wouldn’t run without electricity.<br><br><i>Electronics for Kids</i> demystifies electricity with a collection of awesome hands-on projects. In Part 1, you’ll learn how current, voltage, and circuits work by making a battery out of a lemon, turning a metal bolt into an electromagnet, and transforming a paper cup and some magnets into a spinning motor. In Part 2, you’ll make even more cool stuff as you:<br>–Solder a blinking LED circuit with resistors, capacitors, and relays<br>–Turn a circuit into a touch sensor using your finger as a resistor<br>–Build an alarm clock triggered by the sunrise<br>–Create a musical instrument that makes sci-fi soundsThen, in Part 3, you’ll learn about digital electronics—things like logic gat
