DFRobot BOSON Science Design Kit

The DFRobot BOSON Science Design Kit is an outstanding learning set for children aged 8 to 10 years, seamlessly combining the worlds of physical sciences and engineering. This kit stands out for its child-friendly handling, as it completely avoids soldering and instead relies on simple plug connections. This intuitive and safe approach allows young explorers to dive directly into the world of experiments and projects without complicated preparations. Through the 7 scientific experiments and 5 technical experiments, all based on practical application, children can learn in a playful and effective way. The kit promotes creativity and practical understanding of scientific principles, introducing students to exciting areas such as electricity, light, heat and more.

Experiments:

• Investigating the electrical conductivity and insulation using everyday examples such as the question of why electrical cables are wrapped in plastic.
• Exploring light reflection and the nature of light, starting with the question why the moon shines at night.
• Investigating the thermal insulation properties of wood, plastic and metal to understand the concept of heat and heat transfer.
• Testing the effectiveness of a sunscreen for shading and insulating the sun's heat to deepen the understanding of heat transformation.
• Constructing a simple "Earth-Sun" model to explore the distribution of sunlight on Earth and the formation of seasons.
• Exploring the difference between sand and soil, especially in terms of their water storage capacity.
• Building a simple water cycle model to understand the water cycle and its role in various spheres of the Earth.
