What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? the children were quite surprised to see how easy the construction was.
This children really enjoyed the construction of these cars. Thank you for the instructions. The girls followed these well, whereas, the boys took a lot longer and required more assistance. The video that was provided wasn't a complete video of 'how to construct'. Could this be remedied for next time?

Students had a whole term of learning about sources of engery. It was awesome to end the term learning about solar engergy and Newton's laws as well as have hands on experience of making the solar cars and seeing how it all comes together.

The Solar Car Kit was a great resource. Easy to teach and guide the students through. Lots of pieces that were easily lost but we improvosed and the children enjoyed making them. Thank you for the great learning experience. The children will remember this fondly as the year progresses.
