Question 1

What do I get with this that I wouldn't get just buying Snap Circuits Extreme SC-750 and the Student Guide for the SC-750? That is less expensive...

Accepted Answer

If you read the description, this item has a student guide and curriculum for educators, broken down for teachers, plus additional components that come with the 500 and other sub kits that are not included in the standard 750 kit. As an educator, this additional material is well worth it. Include the addition to the additional components and it's obvious this is as superior package

Question 2

The pictures shpw 5 project books, a Student Guide and a Teacher's Guide.  Are these actually included?

Accepted Answer

All of the books shown are included.  However, I would say it is a stretch to say it is 750 experiments.  So many are slight variations on a theme.  For example: To light the 7 segment LED display, it is a different experiment for each number 0 through 9.  Really it just changing the jumpers to light the appropriate segments for each number.

Question 3

Does this item contain a complete set of Snap Circuit's electronic components? If not, what is it missing? What should I buy in addition?

Accepted Answer

This is a complete set, except for the more fancy add on kits like light. The only thing I bought separately was the AC plug so I wouldn't have to use batteries all the time. It really is a cool way to learn some electronics.

Question 4

What are some of the most fascinating things you can imagine doing with this kit?

Accepted Answer

We've just scratched the surface of its capabilities, since my kids are only 4 & 6. Haven't gotten to the computer enabled features yet. Snap Circuits Extreme and the simpler Snap Circuits Green were huge hits at elementary school science night. Great feature is that kids start by building the book's projects, but then build the confidence to create their own designs, and to test the impacts of substituting in other parts (e.g., how the sound diminishes as  a stronger resistor is used). Sorry that I don't have a fuller answer to your question yet, but I can project years of enjoyment growing into this remarkable kit.
