STEM Solar Power

Climate change and global warming urge scientists to take action and save our planet by reducing carbon emissions. The sun can provide free energy for all of our needs, however, we need to convert it to a useful form. Get the SOLAR POWER set and learn all about Renewable Energy, giving more emphasis on how to exploit the Sun's power. This set includes one 3V solar panel that powers an electrical motor, along with instructions to build 16 solar powered models such as a chopper car, a fan, a plane, a robot and a winch crane. You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. A Quiz section is also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! Conduct thorough experiments and discover:
- how do solar panels work;
- what factors affect a solar panel's efficiency;
- how weather conditions affect solar power production.
