Over 70 experiments that explore electrical charges, static electricity, currents, circuits, switches, and magnetism. Each one includes a brief introduction, a list of materials, directions, and a scientific explanation of the results. Thought-provoking questions for further investigation appear in a “Check It Out” section. The experiments are informative and, given the readily available parts and simple assembly, occasionally amazing. The author’s entertaining comments make it clear that science can be fun. The black-and-white illustrations will assist students in constructing buzzers, “anti-gravity disks,” meters, and more.

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 that died years ago. Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs.

This item is oversized and thus we must charge extra shipping charges of $7 to ship it. These charges DO NOT apply if you are purchasing this item as part of Jiggle, Jostle & Jolt, or as a second for an additional student.  Nor do they apply if you have earned free shipping on your order. The additional shipping charge, if applicable, will be applied by us after you place your order.
