Product Description

This bundle contains Ultralight Airplanes, Rubber Band Racers, and Solar-Powered Rovers.

Ultralight Airplanes

Construct awesome flying gliders with ultralight plastic and bamboo parts. Build five different types of planes with different wing configurations to learn how wings provide lift and how planes stay up in the air.

Rubber Band Racers

Fly into physics fun with five awesome models driven by a rubber band powered propeller. Using ultralight plastic and bamboo parts, build a helicopter, airboat, airplane, fan car, and hydrofoil. Learn how the elastic material stores energy and then releases it to move the models.

Solar-Powered Rovers

The sun’s energy can be used to do some pretty astonishing things! Get ready to explore the amazing capabilities of solar energy by building your own solar-powered vehicles and devices. Using a system of ultralight bamboo rods, plastic gears, and a powerful solar panel, you’ll build five different motorized models that that move using electricity generated directly from sunlight. Construct three types of solar cars, a solar fan, and a solar robot. Perform science experiments with each model to learn about gear ratios, solar cells, and more. The ultralight materials make your models speedy and durable while the modular gearing system lets you test out three different gear ratios.
