A single-pole, single-throw knife switch comes mounted on a wood base approximately 3-inches square. Red and blue wire leads are connected to the switch. The blue wire connects to a 6V battery. The red wire has a spade end and wraps around a nail approximately 3.5-inches long.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
