Hands-on simple-circuits lab for ages 8-12, the partner app to Magnet Lab. Build-a-Circuit is a workbench where kids close a loop with wires, bulbs, a buzzer, and a switch — correct loops light up with animated current flow, two series bulbs glow softer, and a loop with no load triggers a plain-words short-circuit warning; five challenge badges check off as performed. Circuit Detective offers 8 broken-circuit fault-finding scenes, and Conductor or Insulator? runs a predict-then-test bench over 7 materials (copper, steel, aluminum conduct; rubber, plastic, wood, paper block).
