"models of the solar system"

High Quality for the Classroom.

Construct a three-dimensional solar system model to explore planetary order, relative size, and the structure of our solar system through a hands-on assembly activity.

The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient.

Build, paint, and display a three-dimensional solar system model with a complete kit that includes Smoothfoam® planets, paints, brushes, and assembly components.
