My kid is working on an electromagnet science fair project. Basically, he's going to wrap wire around stuff and see what works best. I don't want to the science part for him, but he needs help with the logistics, materials, and safety. We have no experience with this stuff.
What are some cool things that we should put in his hands? What should we use for a power source? Batteries? USB? 12V? How can we control the current? Indicator lamp? Wire nuts? I dunno. Not sure what questions to ask, but hit me with some stuff the a 10yo kid could impress his friends with. I can solder if I absolutely have to, but it'll be ugly!
