$3.20, and it stops students taping wires to a battery
A single C-cell holder with two 10cm insulated leads, red and black. Battery not included.
The alternative to a holder is a child holding a wire against each end of a battery with their thumbs, which works for about four seconds and teaches nothing except that circuits are frustrating. A holder makes the power source stay put, so the lesson can be about the rest of the circuit.
Red and black leads are not decoration. They are how a student learns that a circuit has a direction, and they are what makes it possible to say "black to the black" rather than describing wires by where they happen to be lying.
It works with: the 50cm alligator clip leads we stock (supplier code 51171), and the 2.5V screw-base bulbs. The supplier also lists battery snaps under code 51139 which we do not currently stock - ask us if you want them.
Batteries are not included. It takes one C cell.
