PHYSICS SOLAR WORKSHOP
Physics Solar Workshop
    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 the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, students will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. Students will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. Developed with Greenpeace® in Germany.

    Includes:

  • 320 parts to build 12 models (parts are compatible with other Thames & Kosmos Physics kits)
  • 64-page Experiment Manual with fully illustrated instructions for building models and conducting 30 experiments that help students learn about motors and simple machines, harnessing and using solar power, and other topics

    Activities:

  • build 12 models, including a solar-powered tractor, truck, treaded vehicle, car, elevator, drawbridge, fan, airplane, mobile crane and construction crane
  • learn about harnessing and using solar power
  • learn about motors and simple machines
