My husband was looking for a build-it-yourself electric motor kit as a Christmas present for our nine-year-old son. This not only fit the bill, but also included experiments and other building ideas. It was more than just "build an electric motor and watch it work".
My husband and son spent some good "man time" building together. My son was all excited to be able to have generated a tenth of a volt with just wires and a magnet, and my husband was in his electrical engineer glory. drawing charts and waves by way of explanation.
Awesome!

This was an excellent product to teach me and my children about both how electricity is created, but how to actually build a generator itself.
The progressive experiments provided a clear learning path that was accentuated by the the clear and informative instructions for each exercise.

Magnets are very useful for experimentation with kids, although the suggested experiments would make more sense for a college student. The electrical generator experiment is incredibly difficult to implement as suggested.
