This Dangerous Book for Boys book series has become so popular over the years that Disney TM was going to make it into an adventure movie... (if any of our readers know when this movie will be coming out please email us and get a solar key ring flashlight....) Learn about electric current and electrons. Conduct hair-raising experiments with static electricity. Read a brief history of the research and discoveries that focus electricity and electronics. Investigate materials to see if they are conductors or insulators. Assemble series circuits and parallel circuits. In the spirit of early electrical scientists, Tesla, Volta, Ampere and Watt, here's your chance to learn more about this fascinating field... Discover the relationships between voltage, current, and power. Experiment with resistors, capacitors, diodes, and LEDs. Investigate logical circuits and transistors.
