Lessons in Electronics

While Mom is visiting her Mother in Columbus it's free reign for the boys. Well, almost. During Luke's nap Jack and I delved into his Electronic Snap Circuits set he got at Christmas. There are 101 projects for ages 8-108 (go figure). Above is "Project 1: Electronic Light & Switch."
When my father was 13 he rewired part of his house. Yes, his parents let him! Anyway, I think this may give Jack a leg up on his grandfather! Above: "Project 2: DC Motor & Switch" (click to enlarge). Below is just a shot of Project 1 in the case.
Below is a shot of "Project 3: Sound Activated Switch." Project 4 showed how resistance can lower the sound from the speaker by employing resisters. Jack really had fun and the projects generated a lot of discussion.

We miss you Mommy! Come home soon and I promise not to electrocute the kids.
