Intro to Electronics for Lower School

Hi to all---

I spent some time this summer being trained to be a docent at the
Chatham Marconi Maritime Center in Cape Cod which is all about Guglielmo *
Marconi*,
best known for his development of a radio telegraph system, which has
started me
thinking about teaching an Intro to Electronics enrichment class to grades
3-5.

In checking out some ideas I have come across a snap circuits kit by
Elenco Electronics that comes with 30 parts which can be constructed and
deconstructed to make a variety of projects.

Has anyone used this kit?
How well did the projects work?

It looks like a great way to get kids interested in electronics and provide
a basic understanding
of simple circuits---

Thanks.
