Description
The Rotating Solar Satellite Science Kit introduces students to basic concepts of energy, motion, and space technology through a hands-on model build. Students assemble a satellite structure that sits on a rotating motorized base, allowing the model to turn smoothly once powered.
The satellite includes solar panels as part of the build, giving students an opportunity to discuss how satellites collect energy and why panel placement matters. As the model rotates, students can observe how mechanical motion is created and sustained, connecting physical movement to real-world space systems.
This kit is designed to be engaging and accessible, making it suitable for classroom demonstrations, small-group activities, or independent exploration. It encourages students to think about how satellites operate, how energy is transferred, and how motion can be controlled through simple mechanical systems.
The Rotating Solar Satellite Science Kit blends creativity and science, helping students connect abstract space concepts to tangible, hands-on learning.
