The Solar Race Car is a hands-on science kit that has kids build a small race car and power it with a solar panel. Put the parts together, take it outside and let the sun do the work. It is an easy, practical introduction to solar energy for young builders.
Key features
- Build your own car from the supplied parts
- Powered by a solar panel
- Designed to be raced outdoors
- Encourages creativity and fine motor skills
- Combines construction with active play
Because the car runs on solar power, it works best on a bright day outdoors.
Try racing in full sun versus light shade and compare how the car performs. It is a simple experiment that shows how the amount of light reaching the panel changes the energy available to the motor.
