circuitry
I wish to learn a bit about circuitry and how it works i want to buy a kit on how to do so but i dont know what to buy i want something a little more advanced than the snap circuit i have now.

Ok. Well, first off, a circuit can not be. It must be closed. There must also be a power source.

Re: circuitry
Just get a battery pack for 4 AA batteries (never use mains power!!!), a few alligator clip wires, a few bulbs + holders, and possibly a motor or two, and then you can experiment with connecting them up, parallel and series circuits etc.
If you want, you can even get a voltimeter and ampmeter

The Electronics Learning Lab from Radio Shack is excellent (I have one), and a step up from most snap-together kits. It uses the actually bare components, which gets you ready for making stuff without kits and instructions. Also, it comes with easy to follow instructions for things from basic circuits up to tone generators and stopwatch timers.
