A student desktop experiment kit to accompany Volume 2 on electricity and magnetism is available from PASCO: search for item EM-8675. With the kit students can do experiments with electrostatics, circuits, and magnetism. The kit contains

• batteries
• a battery holder
• a bar magnet
• a liquid-filled compass
• high and low resistance light bulbs
• bulb sockets
• a 1-farad capacitor
• thick and thin Nichrome wires
• clip leads
• a long wire

If you choose to assemble your own kits (which is more difficult than you might imagine), here is useful procurement information.
