What our experts think
This circuit lab set encourages children to get hands-on with their Science and Technology learning, using problem-solving skills and logical thinking to make the circuits work.
The instructions were clear and well laid out and there were lots of opportunities for the children to work together to problem-solve. Practical sets like this are a great way to put trial and error learning into action as children can see the sequence in real-time and work out what is missing in order to get a successful result.
This type of learning is what STEM is all about and really builds self-confidence. It also encourages perseverance when things don’t work the first time and a sense of achievement when it is completed.
