    The battery is not working although we charged it so many times. Useless for us. Not working. I will not recommend buying a game which does not work.

      The parts are durable, very sturdy. Some other reviewers have compared them to Legos in quality, and I agree that they're on the same level. They snap together easily. All of the parts worked the way they were supposed to.

      The booklet has clear instructions for the projects and lots of pictures. The projects are quick to put together and take apart. The included storage tray is a durable, permanent part of the set and makes it easy to find parts. Also makes it easy to see if you forgot to put a part away.

      The only recommendation I have for improvement is that they give more detailed descriptions of what a short circuit is and how to avoid it. This part was confusing for me at first because I had ZERO experience with this sort of thing.

      I bought this for my 12-year-old son to use in his homeschool science class. He loves it. An added bonus is that I am learning WITH HIM while he does the projects.

      As for the "green"part: this set includes parts for showing how wind, water, solar, and manual (hand crank) energy can be used to power LED lights, a horn, a radio, and so on. This is an excellent introduction to alternative energy. In addition, the kit includes a booklet that explains alternative energy in simple terms.

      I hold a master's degree in education. Although this set is fun, it's also educational and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for use in any regular classroom from about 4th grade up. Kids 8 to 12 might need a little adult guidance with the projects. My 12-year-old can do them without my help, but I like to participate just for the fun of it.

      Our son likes to know how everything works and often requests to watch "Modern Marvels." We bought Snap Circuits Jr for his 5th birthday and it was a huge hit with everyone there (kids and adults).

      This Green Energy kit was the next set we purchased. We have owned it for about 8 months now and this has been one of the most played with things in our house. Our son regularly combines the two sets to build his own circuits. He has more fun with this than with lego bricks and k'nex. He likes to hook up the meter and see how he is creating energy by blowing on the fan, turning the crank, or putting the solar panel in the sun. This set is an awesome add-on to the original kits. You can use it by itself as well, but DS loves the flying disc, the sensors, and the battery pack in the Jr set.

      The quality seems high. We tried an elecricity kit in the past and it was not user friendly at all, even for adults. With Snap Circuits, everything works like it should, despite being handled regularly by a 5 yr old. This one doesn't fall apart with the slightest touch, like some other brand kits.

      I must applaud the company for making something so kid friendly. There are so many times where my son has an interest in things, but they are not appropriate for him yet. These kits allow him to safely explore his interests and I am truely grateful for that. I also like that it appeals to adults more than some other kid toys. He and I can both have fun while spending time together. It sure beats playing Candyland. LOL

      Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this set. It is reasonably priced and of great quality. I would not hesitate to buy this again.

    • Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2011
      Last year for Christmas, we bought the Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 set for our then six-year-old son. The worked through the first half of the experiments on Christmas day! Obviously I didn't have time to explain to him how they all worked, but the point is the instructions are easy to follow and produce entertaining results.
      This year, we knew another snap circuits set would be similarly well received. This Green - Alternative Energy Kit looked like a great option that didn't repeat too much of what he already had. He loved it again and is eagerly looking forward to designing his own circuits that can combine parts from both sets.

      The product is very well packaged--the box it comes in organizes all parts neatly and securely without too much wasted space. The parts are all clearly labeled and easy to snap into place. It includes an FM radio, voltmeter, and a fan/windmill, which are all favorites. The biggest complaint I have is that the hand crank requires enough force to turn it quickly that it is easy to pop that part off of the circuit board. Keeping one hand firmly over the part while using the other hand to do the cranking usually keeps everything secure. Also, the photovoltaic cell doesn't generate enough current except during a very sunny day (which is typical for a cell this size). That said, I would say this set is even more enjoyable than the first set and I would certainly buy it again.

      When I asked my son just now what he thought of the set and whether he'd recommend it to others, he said: "It is awesome!"

      My 11 yr old has had a lot of fun with this for the past four months.
      He has made a lot of the things in the booklet and even some things that are not by combining elements of this kit with other toys (the crank, the solar panel, and the fan, for example).
      The instructions and explainations are easy to follow and understand, from his perspective. (versus some things that take an adult to understand and or explain.

      The only minor negative to this item is that he broke one of the wires off from the snap attachment and I had to solder the wire back on to the snap; this was after three months of usage though so I am not sure what caused the breakage.
      I would caution others buying this to make sure that care is used when removing the snaps from the connectors, but really, it is overall very sturdy. The snapped wire connection isn't enough of a negative to take off a star.
      Definitely kid tested and approved!
