Solar Powered Rovers
Convert sunlight into electricity and power a motor
Solar Powered Rovers comes with all the parts you need to build 5 different solar-powered models.
Introduce your child to the study of physics with the entertaining Solar Powered Rovers.
This kit will teach your child about solar power and energy transformation.
Using cool models to show physics principles in action, is exactly what this kit does!
It can be a lot of fun to figure out the physics phenomena that surround us every day. Even better is to put this understanding to use. Learn about energy from the sun and how a solar cell works.
The sunlight outside on a sunny day is enough to power the panel. Some indoor light sources are also enough. The solar panel will then generate enough power to drive the models in this kit.
The included workbook will also help you to build the Solar Rover, Compact Solar Car, Solar Racer, Solar Fan and a Sun Bot.
