Class 1 Builder Kit: Introduction to Forces, Sound & Light

The Class 1 Builder Kit: Introduction to Forces, Sound & Light is designed to introduce young learners to foundational science concepts through hands-on building, observation, experimentation, and play-based learning.

Instead of learning physical science only through books or illustrations, children can explore concepts by creating simple working models and activities using everyday materials and basic hardware.

The kit introduces key ideas around sound and vibration, force and movement, light and shadow, structures, simple machines, and introductory electrical circuits.

With 14 hands-on projects, learners can explore activities such as a Paper Telephone, Tonoscope, Balloon-Driven Car, Gas Balloon, Blowing Toy, mechanical Robotic Arm, Puppet, Popstick Bridge, Paper Plane, Newton’s Disc, Shadow Changing, Colourful Shadow Art, Detective Ink, and a motor-powered Windmill.

The kit also provides an early introduction to electrical systems through a simple setup involving a toy motor, 9V battery, battery clip, and rocker switch.

The learning experience encourages children to build, observe, test, and understand cause and effect, helping connect classroom science concepts with physical experiences.
