Physics Solar Workshop Activity Kit

The energy we use originates as energy from the Sun. This kit explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on energy capture using photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, students will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices optimize the work done by this energy.  Different vehicles and machines demonstrate how gears transform power. The kit includes 320 parts and a 64-page manual. For ages 8 and up.
