Description
Thames & Kosmos Physics Solar Workshop V2.0
Build five models including a helicopter, solar-bot, moon rover, stag beetle, and praying mantis
Learn about harnessing and using solar power
Experiment with motors, gears, and simple machines
Models can also be powered by a battery (Not included)
Ages: 8+
By building five awesome models and conducting experiments with the Thames & Kosmos Physics Solar Workshop V2.0, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. Start with a simple helicopter model that converts sunlight into a rotating motion and demonstrates the basics of solar technology. Continue your experiments by constructing increasingly complex models: a solar-bot, a moon rover, and a stag beetle. Finally, build a cool praying mantis model that moves like an insect and is powered by a solar cell. The models can also be powered by a battery, allowing operation in all lighting conditions.
There are 138 parts, which are compatible with other Thames & Kosmos physics and engineering kits. The 48-page book offers illustrated step-by-step instructions for the projects.
This was gift for niece, who is 10 yrs old. She loved it. She worked on putting the grasshopper (I think) together. It took her a day. She did it on her own! Now she is working on experiments with different lighting, to see how long it will run as a science project. Excellent product. Will definitely buy other kits in the future. Fast shipping
