Dear Parents and Adults,
With this kit, you and your young engineers can build
eight fun solar-powered models. Each model uses
the same solar panel and motor, which are part of a
module called the solar gearbox. Thus, the models
can be built one at a time, and each model must be
disassembled before the next is assembled.
By building the models, kids can learn about how the
different mechanisms enable each model to move in
a different way.
After a model is assembled, you can power it with
direct sunlight or a lamp with a high-wattage
incandescent or halogen light bulb held a few inches
above the solar panel. Sunlight is far more powerful
than any artificial light source. By experimenting with
the solar panel, kids can learn a lot about this
important source of renewable energy.
There is no battery, so energy is not stored in the
device. It operates as long as it is exposed to a
powerful enough light source.
Before building and experimenting, read the
instructions together with your child and discuss the
safety instructions. Please provide your child with the
help and advice that he or she needs for tricky
assembly steps and experiments, and accompany him
or her every step of the way.
If your child is working on a table, provide a table mat
to prevent damage to the furniture.
When cutting the plastic parts with a cutter, special
care must be taken to avoid sharp edges, rough
edges, and burrs. These can be removed using a
cutter and a file. Provide your child with a cutter and
supervise him or her until you are sure that he or she
can use it without supervision.
We hope you and your child have fun building and
experimenting with your SolarBots!
