Solar power is an exciting, cutting-edge technology, and it isn't hard to understand with the Solar Mechanics kit!

This kit makes the science of solar power tangible and fun for young scientists. 

With 20 experiments, you'll learn about:

• Gearing up: Transmissions - How to move mechanical energy from one place to another.
• Powering up: Solar cells - Learn how solar cells convert sunlight into electricity, and how to use that electricity.
• The Models: Part 1 - Assemble solar-powered vehicles.
• The Models: Part 2 - Assemble other solar-powered devices and machines.
