Solar Energy

Teaching kids about the energy of the sun is important! Let's face it, without the sun there would be no life on Earth. The good news is that our largest star is with us to stay, at least for another few million years. We have a bunch of fun science kits and experiments that will keep the sun shining, and interest in solar science expanding. Float a gigantic Solar Bag with the heat of the sun, watch as the sun's ultraviolet light changes ordinary white beads to one-of-a-kind UV Beads and make a photographic print of your favorite objects with Sun Sensitive Paper! You can even see the sun's energy activate a Solar Grasshopper, Solar Frog, Solar Racing Car or even a 6-in-1 Solar Kit. There are lots of ideas here for your next science fair project!
