What is included in the Thames & Kosmos Physics Solar Workshop kit?

The kit includes 138 parts that allow you to build five different models, including a helicopter, solar-bot, moon rover, stag beetle, and a praying mantis. It also comes with a 48-page illustrated instruction book to guide you through the projects.

How does the solar energy technology in this kit work?

The Physics Solar Workshop teaches you how photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electrical energy. As you build and experiment with the models, you will see how this energy can power motors and mechanical devices, demonstrating the principles of solar technology.

Can the models be powered by a battery, and how does that work?

Yes, the models can also be powered by a battery, enabling them to operate in all lighting conditions. This feature ensures that you can enjoy the experiments regardless of the availability of sunlight.

Is the Physics Solar Workshop compatible with other Thames & Kosmos kits?

Absolutely! The parts in this kit are compatible with other Thames & Kosmos physics and engineering kits, allowing for expanded creativity and experimentation with your existing sets.

What age group is the Physics Solar Workshop suitable for?

The Physics Solar Workshop is designed for children and young learners interested in science and engineering concepts. While it is suitable for a wide range of ages, parental guidance is recommended for younger children to assist with the assembly of models and experiments.

Description

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 five awesome models and conducting experiments with them, 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. - A Parents' Choice Silver Award Winner.
