This document provides guidance on choosing and purchasing batteries for practical circuit work.

In this issue we investigate how water gets from the soil to the top of a plant, solar kits for learning about electricity and renewable energy, and launch the 'Falling seeds and biscuits' Primary Competition. There's also an important safety alert about using high powered batteries in circuit work and advice on chemical storage.

Advice on getting electrical circuits to work and simple circuit activity ideas.

In this issue: A circuits teaching idea, conductive dough, Ogden Trust, PSEC, batteries for circuits, competition information and finding legacy resources
