Solar Power Model Kit 555006 Build your own solar-powered models to discover how solar cells generate electricity from light! Learn about renewable energy with 6 different building projects. The Solar Power Model Kit is perfect for teaching and learning about solar energy. The kit guides you through building six different solar-powered vehicles, and when you’re done with those, you can design your own models! Let the sun power your toys to learn how renewable energy can be used day-to-day to power our lives. Why we love this solar science kit: This kit is both fun and educational. Unlike other modeling kits, once you build the 6 different model vehicles, you aren’t done! You can use all of the same parts to design your own vehicles. Plus, the pieces included in this set are compatible with all Thames & Kosmos Construction Series kits, Physics Series kits, Wind Power, and Hydropower kits. Why you’ll love this renewable energy kit: Some people excel with hands-on learning. This kit is great for kids, parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to learn (or teach) about solar energy. The special solar panel in this kit consists of three solar cells and generates 1.5 volts of electricity in bright sunlight, like a AA battery. A unique cradle holds either the solar panel or a AA battery, allowing you to switch out the solar panel for a AA battery (not included), depending on the strength of sunlight. You can even use the solar panel to charge up your own rechargeable AA batteries. The solar panel is positionable, so you can maximize its exposure to the sun to generate the most power. Included 177 separate building pieces for 6 different projects A 24-page, full-color manual to guide you through building the models Specifications Ages 8 and up Caution: not for children under 3 years. Small parts are a choking hazard. Keep this kit away from small children.
