Steve Spangler Science Energy Stick Conductor - Experiments for Kids - Learn About Electricity, Insulators & Conductors - Great Stocking Stuffer

Got my 8 year old son this for Christmas. Been trying to explain to him more about energy so this is a great tool/toy for it!

The kids in my science class loved it! They just kept thinking of new things to try. The compsny added wire leads and probes which added new possibilities. We actually used two of the sticks, which let us play with polarity.

Kids enjoyed it. The noise it makes its kind of louder than I would like though...and it sounds like an old Halloween toy I used to have...if you can deal with the noise, it's a great product for kids to lean with. I did have to fix it after 1 day. It doesn't hold up against kids well. My kids arent rough with it, but the wire connections were too fragile for them to be used like they were. I hot glued it back and covered the connections...not preferable, but it worked again.

Great demonstration for students

Cool concept, kids enjoyed. Every time kids used it they were supervised yet we only got about 5 uses from it.

This is my students' favorite science demo tool. They couldn't get enough of it! Wonderful way to teach energy! Great quality--I used it with 90 students and it is going strong!

We had to buy this after my son attended a STEM class. He's only four but loves science! Already conducted a few experiments at home.

Great STEM, fun, toy to show electrical conduction. My 9-13 year grandkids loved it. Only issue was the connection system for the wires of the probes are fragile and both quickly broke at the base of the wires at the soldered point. Easy fix, larger wire size and stronger mechanical and solder connection. The extra $2-4 would be worth it. Other than the cables the unit still works properly.
