Physics Solar Workshop Experiment Kit
Solar power technology in action
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. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to
demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. There
are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other Physics kits. The
64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects. Developed with
Greenpeace® in Germany. Ages 8 and up.
Activities:
• Build 12 models, including a solar-powered tractor,
truck, treaded vehicle, car, elevator, drawbridge, fan, airplane, mobile crane
and construction crane
• Learn about harnessing and using solar power
• Learn about motors and simple machines
