Average Ratings:

With Inventions, discover the "why" as well as the "how" common electronic components work through the use of everyday materials. Each project contributes to the understanding of how things work. The book has beautiful step-by-step, highly visual instructions and child appropriate materials, included in this kit, encourage independent learning through play, and lead a child successfully through each invention. Although Inventions is designed for children 8 years and up, this title 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 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. Inventions is compelling to children. Inventions is the recipient of over 15 unsolicited awards.

Summary: Learning, discovering, bonding...
Comment: My highly intelligent 5-year old has been asking if we could help him do "experiments" for just under a year now, so when I saw this kit I thought it would be a great Christmas gift. I was pleased to find that I was correct. The instructions are illustrated, clear and easy to follow and most of the steps in the experiments were able to be performed by my son, save the more precise and delicate ones.

Upon successfully building the working motor in the first experiment, I could hardly restrain him from proceeding on to the next.

After having completed all experiments, he has now gone back and reproduced a couple of them on his own and is asking for more experiments to do. We will definitely be buying more of the kits from ScienceWiz!

Summary: Great fun while learning!
Comment: I purchased this package for a 2nd grader who is "stoked" on science. We had a great time learning about the projects, recording the steps and observations (important, but not included in the package), and enjoying the results. There are lots of parts, so be careful that you don't lose any of them (e.g., Schottke diode).
