Overview

Our Solar Bugs teachåÊhowåÊsolar power can be converted into motion. ByåÊconnecting aåÊ2V solar cell åÊdirectly to theåÊvibrating motor, we've created a small solar project that can be usedåÊto a number of different concepts. When placed inåÊsunlight, the vibrating motoråÊcauses the bug to wiggle around. This project allows students to flex their creative muscles while also learning about solar power, motion, and vibration.åÊWe recommend personalizing your Solar Bugs by painting, staining, or coloring the wood bodiesåÊbefore assembly.åÊ
