Product Overview
The E-Blox Circuit Blox Student Set brings 120 hands-on STEM projects to students in grades 3-5, teaching electricity, circuits, and telecommunications through construction-based learning. Kids build working 3D circuits that light up stars, spin motors to launch fans, and play music and sirens, and create everything from a real working FM radio to a flying saucer. Compatible with other brick building sets, the Circuit Blox system lets students discover how lights, alarms, motors, and switches work while building functional circuits that demonstrate the basics of electricity.
- Build 120 different projects including a working FM radio, flying saucer, and circuits that light up, spin motors, and play sounds
- Teaches electricity, circuits, and how various electronic components work through hands-on construction for students in grades 3-5
- Includes 79-page teacher guide with curriculum lessons addressing NGSS requirements, plus online animated lessons and quizzes
- Compatible with other brick building sets for expanded building options
