ScienceWiz(R) Inventions Online Discovery: This multi-award winning
book and kit uses everyday materials to build a spinning motor, a
clicking telegraph, a light-flashing generator and a real radio. The
use of simple materials (no plastic required) helps to demystify the
"why" as well as the "how." The step by step, fully-illustrated, 40 page
book makes the projects very doable and the explanations easy to
understand. The Online Discovery version of ScienceWiz(R) Inventions
includes an **online flip-book with embedded animations, videos, games,
and interactive simulations.

Imagine building a working radio using only aluminum foil, wire and a
diode. That's it. No battery required. Imagine making a spinning motor
using only paper clips, a magnet, a bit of wire and a battery. Light a
bulb by spinning a coil of wire next to a bar magnet. Make a telegraph
click and send coded messages to a friend using just two paper clips, a
nail, wire and a battery. Every day materials, indeed!
These are all inventions with coils. With them you can explore the
discoveries of Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla, two scientists and
inventors who played a seminal role in the creation of the electrical
grid.
This kit includes materials, instructions, an online flip-book and a
handle box for easy storage and transport.
