The description has a lot of options to do with this toy and very attractive being solar powered But even me helping them to built it got so complicated and you have to put together the internal mechanisms that is not clear the instructions to do it. I love electronics ! But this toy is for a grown up with a lot of time to spend putting it together! Totally no worth it!!!

Frustrating

My 10 year old got very frustrated with the small pieces and one breaking the first time he tried to assemble this. Not worth the money.

Very small pieces
Review star icon Review star icon Review star icon Review star icon Review star icon Jul 27, 2016
The variety of options in this kit are great. However, the pieces for the kits are very tiny, and the instruction booklet is in black and white. It would be much easier to build the projects if the instruction booklet were in color. The kids referred to the model I had already built more than to the instruction booklet because the instructions were difficult to follow.

NGSS

This product will support your students' understanding of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*, as shown in the table below.

Elementary Middle School High School

1-PS4-2

Students can conduct investigations showing evidence of illumination from an external source such as the Sun.

1-PS4-3

Using Solar Robots, students can plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.

4-PS3-2

Using Solar Robots, students can make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.

4-PS3-4

Using Solar Robots, students can apply scientific ideas to design, test, and redefine a device that converts energy from one form to another.

3-5-ETS1-3

Students can use Solar Robots to plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved

DCI/PS4.B

Electromagnetic Radiation

MS-PS3-5

Using Solar Robots, students can develop an investigation and model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance change, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.

MS-PS4-1

Students can conduct investigations showing evidence that the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave is related to solar energy gathered with the solar cells.

MS-PS4-2

Students can use Solar Robots to develop and use a model to describe how waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.

MS-ETS1-4

Students can use Solar Robots to develop a model or experiment to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

HS-PS3-3

Students can use Solar Robots to design, build, and redefine a devise that works with given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.

HS-PS3-4

Students can use Solar Robots to design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.

HS-PS4-5

Students can use Solar Robots to conduct investigations about technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture energy.

HS-ETS1-2

Students can use Solar Robots in an investigation to design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
