Sensor Stick for Ages 6 and Up (Conduct Electricity with Your Hands)

Product Overview

The Sensor Stick lets you experience first hand the science of electricity and circuits. Just place one hand on the top silver bar and the other hand at the bottom and voila the long-lasting LED lights flash while the buzzer buzzes! You’ve just closed the circuit, allowing electricity to flow from one hand, thru the tube, thru your other hand and your body. Yes, you are a human circuit! Remove one hand and you’ve opened the circuit and the flow of electricity stops. Repeat, repeat, repeat. The fun goes on and on! Learn about electricity, circuits, conductors, electrons and more!
Made in China. Ages 6+

Warning: Choking hazard, not for children under 3 years of age.

Key Scientific Terms:

Electricity: the flow of electrons through a circuit (also known as a circle)

Electronic Circuit: the path on which current flows; must start and stop at some point

Conductor: a material that electricity can flow through easily; a few examples are copper, aluminum, water and people

Insulator: a material that prevents or blocks flow of electricity; examples are plastic, glass and rubber

Electron: a tiny piece of electricity with hardly any mass; so small it can't be seen with an electron microscope

Open Circuit: a broken path for an electrical current due to an open switch

Closed Circuit: a complete electrical connection around which current flows or circulates

Electrode: a conductor that passes an electrical current from one medium to another
