This amazing activity teaches children about energy in many ways, with 12 models and 30 experiments for them and a thorough 64-page manual for the instructor.
In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the sun. Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors. Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the sun, oceans heated by the sun, and Earth's weather systems sustained by the sun. Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago.
Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, 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. Participants will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects. Developed with Greenpeace(r) in Germany. Ages 8 and up.
Winner of Parents' Choice Silver Honor award.
This kit can be disassembled and used over and over again. Designed for smaller groups of up to 5 children.
