From the Manufacturer Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles we use every day. They are an essential technology in our modern world. With this kit, you can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator does just the opposite, converting motion into electricity. The electric motor is made of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work. Set up the motor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works. Then reconfigure the device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator. Experiment with magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fields relate to electric current. Build simple circuits consisting of the motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and back again. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments with step-by-step instructions. Review: This was a fun purchase! - I really enjoyed assembling this kit! It had exactly what I'd wanted -- gears, magnets and coil, and a working mini generator. The kit does do a good job of illustrating the principles involved, and in a manner way more engaging than what is typically used in schools!! Or in my schools, anyway. The booklet was also very interesting. Overall, I think this item would make an excellent gift for an intellectually curious recipient!! As for its compatibility with other kits, specifically electronics, that's a good question! It does mention hooking up more than one generator together, so you ought to ask, because obviously, duh, that would be awesome! Overall, a fun purchase! Definitely giftable in my opinion. Review: Excellent and intuitive - This is an amazing product that also comes with a great booklet to use in your child’s science curriculum. I love it and so does my son. The kit is intuitive and can be easily put together, and it works. Five stars. ## Features - Learn how an electric motor converts electricity into motion - Explore how an electric generator converts motion into electricity - Observe the motor's inner working through its transparent plastic - Discover how magnetic fields relate to electric current - New 2012 item - includes 60-page full-color manual ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007WDGZF2 | | Age Range Description | 8+ | | Battery Description | AA (2) | | Best Sellers Rank | #93,309 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #823 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | Thames & Kosmos | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 424 Reviews | | Educational Objective | STEM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814743010390 | | Included Components | magnets, plastic, wires | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 13.1 x 2.6 x 8.9 inches | | Item Part Number | 665036, TK665036 | | Item Type Name | Thames & Kosmos Motors and Generators | | Item Weight | 0.02 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Thames & Kosmos | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 180.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 96.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 665036 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | | Material Type | Plastic , steel | | Model Number | 665036 | | Set Name | Motors and Generators | | Size | 8.9 | | Sub Brand | thames | | Subject | NON-CLASSIFIABLE | | Theme | science-and-nature | | UPC | 885355465823 433599222704 094313596190 814743010390 730309081423 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Motors & Generators Science Kit | 25 Guided STEM Experiment Lessons | 48 Page Color Student Guide | Grades 3-6 | Ages 8+ | Play & Learn | Parents' Choice Silver Award Winner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gITndlfRL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: ?right for boy age 8 and good at building** A: I think so, we got a bunch of these sets (because they are modular and can work together to build more complex stuff) for our 8, now 9 year old. He is an expert at Legos--building the 14-16 year old sets. He found this fun and it is still on the front of the toy shelf. T&K manuals are like mini-science books. They have been great to re-teach the mom too :) **Q: Seriously... gender - boy!?! really!? girls need to know about science and engineering, as well! the gender description should be removed!** A: Definitely for Girls, too! I’m with you there! Amazon needs to know that Electronic learning is not gender specific to Boys and needs to put the Electronic learning category under all genders! **Q: Does this set turn gears to make other sets parts move** A: There are 2 gears connected to a generator through a hand crank. There is a clear plastic cover over the gears so you can see how they mesh together as you turn the hand crank. **Q: Is this compatible with the Thames and Kosmos Electronics learning circuits series of kits as an alternative to the battery compartmentt?** A: I’m not sure. I didn’t purchase the circuits kit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a fun purchase! *by S***N on March 29, 2021* I really enjoyed assembling this kit!

I love it and so does my son. The kit is intuitive and can be easily put together, and it works. Five stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product but limited *by J***S on April 26, 2023* This is a really neat set. The hand crank generator build and the lesson on magnets and electric engines are great. The only problem is that once you’ve done those two projects the set is basically done. The booklet is well written and has good explanations but the set is very limited in scope. Very entertaining for 10-15 minutes then kind of a bummer when you realize you’re done. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thames & Kosmos Motors & Generators Science Kit | 25 Guided STEM Experiment Lessons | 48 Page Color Student Guide | Grades 3-6 | Ages 8+ | Play & Learn | Parents' Choice Silver Award Winner - Thames & Kosmos Simple Machines Science Experiment & Model Building Kit, Introduction to Mechanical Physics, Build 26 Models to Investigate The 6 Classic Simple Machines - Thames & Kosmos Electricity & Magnetism Science Kit | 62 Safe Experiments Investigating Magnetic Fields & Forces for Ages 8+ | Assemble Electric Circuits with Easy Snap-Together Blocks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1616081-motors-and-generators-science-kit-25-guided-stem-experiment-lessons](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1616081-motors-and-generators-science-kit-25-guided-stem-experiment-lessons) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
