GSC International 1200-14-KT Electric Circuit Board with Buss Bars and lamps and Hand Crank Generator.
Introduction to Circuit Basics: The electrical circuit board with bus bars provides a hands-on way for students to explore parallel and series circuits.
Hand Crank Generator: The hand crank generator demonstrates energy conversion by transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy. This serves as a practical example of how electricity is generated in real-world applications, and it allows students to control the amount of power supplied to the circuit.
Observing Current Flow: By connecting different bus bars in the circuit, students can see how current behaves in series (single path) and parallel (multiple paths) circuits. This helps them understand the distribution of current and voltage across various components.
Interactive Learning: Students physically assemble the circuit configurations, allowing them to experiment with different combinations and observe real-time effects such as changes in brightness or resistance.
Discussion of Efficiency and Power: With the hand crank generator, students can experience the difference in effort required to power series versus parallel circuits, leading to discussions about electrical efficiency, power consumption, and practical applications of these circuit types in everyday life.
