This premier solar power workshop delves deeply into the principals of alternative energy resources. The Physics Solar Workshop by Thames and Kosmos explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. The kit contains everything you need to build 12 different solar powered projects and conduct 30 experiments. Students will learn exactly how solar cells transform light into electric energy. Each building project demonstrates how gears convert and transform power for different needs. The 64-page Experiment Manual offers in-depth explanations of each experiment and project. The pieces in this kit are even compatible with the other Physics kits by Thames and Kosmos. Developed with Greenpeace® in Germany, this is the ultimate resource for any Solar Energy unit. Recommended for children ages 8 and up.

What's included?

• 64-page experiment manual
• 320 pieces

What does it teach?

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. The Physics Solar Workshop explores this principles with in-depth experiments and projects.
