Educational Insights Motorized Solar System English Ed. 8-12 years planetarium projection STEM
The motorized solar system from Educational Insights turns any room into a planetarium and helps children understand the movement of the planets in the solar system. The Sun shines for the 8 planets orbiting around it, providing a clear image of how our solar system is structured. The product is in English and is intended for children with a recommended age between 8 and 12 years old.
This motorized model rotates, and the inner and outer planets move at different speeds for a highly realistic representation of the solar system. Children will thus form a more accurate picture of the distances and movement of the planets, while also understanding the important role of the Sun at the center of this assembly.
The 2-in-1 fun continues when you transform the Sun into a planetarium to see the stars up close. The image of the solar system is projected onto the ceiling in any dark room, and the lamp has an automatic shut-off function. It is an experience that encourages an interest in astronomy and is based on the STEM curriculum: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The set includes the Sun and the 8 planets that orbit around it. It uses 4 AA batteries, which are not included in the set. The motorized solar system won the Parent's Choice Recommended Award in 2017.
