Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug

Explore the potential of solar power with this neat science kit. This build-it-yourself educational solar hobby kit is for the first time science experimenters with little or no experience.


  • The Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug

  • Teaches about forms of alternative energy in a easy-to-use science kit

  • Shows how solar energy can be used to generate electricity

  • Illustrates how radiant energy from the sun can be transformed to electrical energy with a PV cell

  • A motor inside the grasshopper transforms electrical energy to motion

  • Functions best very close to a non-florescent light bulb or in direct sunlight

  • An attention-grabbing display piece related to solar power for a science fair project, class discussion, or just out-of-the-ordinary play

  • Ages 10+
