Solar energy activity for kids? I need a project to do with this kit that I got. It comes with a little solar panel, and a battery thingy. What can I do to make something work with the energy I harness? Or what else can I buy ( that%26#039;s not a million bucks!!!) to make something work?

You may like to try powering an electric train set. If they are young kids it may be nice to have a thomas the tank setup 0% 0 Votes

Most malls sell solar powered accent lights. You can get four for USD 50 (Eight in a sale).
If you already have a kit you can buy a bright LED from any hobby shop and just put it across the battery terminals for it to glow. Being a diode, it works only if the terminals are properly connected. Otherwise a wheat germ bulb will work. This work whichever way it is connected. Being a tungsten lamp it will drain the battery fast. 20% 1 Vote
