About this item

8 years & up Build a kinetic flower that spins with the power of sunlight. Assemble this mesmerizing motorized bloom and watch its sapphire petals rotate in smooth, synchronized motion. Powered by an included solar panel, SolarFlower transforms light into movement while demonstrating how motors, planetary gears, and solar cells work together. The ingenious mechanism drives all petals with a single motor, creating a captivating optical illusion as they spin. Clip the stem to a vase or flower pot and attach the solar panel to a window or directly to the stem to bring the sculpture to life whenever sunlight shines. This hands-on STEM experiment kit explores mechanical systems, renewable energy, and solar technology — and introduces concepts like photosynthesis and electricity generation in an engaging, visual way. You will also need diagonal cutter or scissors, nail file, marker, and access to sunlight or an incandescent lamp (minimum 50 watts).
