How does the staircases light turn on? Why does it go on at the bottom, and back off again at the top? Young students can learn the answers to these and other questions in an engaging and fun way through the CLASS SET Electrical Control. The set teaches all about electrical circuits using simple applications in a way kids can easily understand. The models are easy to build in the classroom and integrate with fully designed tasks and solutions.
Set contains collection of 16 individual trays of parts (recommended: 15 student units, 1 teacher unit). Each tray of parts can be used by 1 to 2 students at a time, depending upon teacher preference. All 16 trays come packed in two sturdy fischertechnik Box 1000 storage units, with baseplate lid.
Students will be able to build 9 instructional models, including: simple circuit with pole-changing switch, DC motor with change of rotation direction, switching on and off with pushbutton, series/parallel connection of pushbuttons, alternating circuit, short-circuit brake, left-right-off with two pushbuttons, pole-changing switch with two connected pushbuttons’

Total 544 components.
Age 7 and above.
ABOUT FISCHERTECHNIK CLASS SETS:
The class sets are optimized for regular lessons at the elementary level, designed for group work with two or more students and each dealing with a specific, technical topic. A class set, consisting of 2 blue BOX 1000, contains 16 identical individual sets, so that, for example, 15 pupils (or groups) and one teacher can be equipped with one set. Each individual set is stored in a clearly arranged tray with a printed sorting insert for uncomplicated back-sorting. These trays can be taken to individual work stations by the students to promote a smooth teaching process. Accompanied by teaching materials which include lesson plans and task sheets with educational plan references, the CLASS SET Electrical Control is ideal for teaching technical content at the primary level.
