Circuit Construction Kit: DC

Design and build your own circuits with Circuit Construction Kit: DC! Test everyday objects to see if they’re conductors or insulators, and explore how electricity flows through series and parallel circuits.

  • In Circuit Construction Kit: DC, experiment with basic electricity by designing and building circuits from scratch. Use tools like ammeters and voltmeters to measure current and voltage, and learn how electricity flows in both series and parallel circuits. Test common objects to determine if they are conductors or insulators, and explore the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance. Whether you’re following schematic drawings or creating your own designs, this interactive kit provides a hands-on way to understand the fundamentals of electricity!
