GeoSafari® Motorised Solar System
Explore planetary movements with a model showing planets orbiting a light-up sun at varying speeds.
Overview
Bring the solar system to life with this detailed motorised model. Featuring an illuminated LED sun at the centre, this educational tool demonstrates the orbits of the eight planets, each moving at its own speed. Ideal for illustrating key concepts discussed in Year 5 science, such as the Earth's rotation, and the spherical shapes of the Earth, sun, and moon.
Enhance classroom engagement by projecting the constellations onto the ceiling. This feature transforms the teaching environment, allowing children to visualise the night sky indoors.
The model includes an activity guide filled with fascinating solar system facts, supporting in-depth learning and discussion. Designed to encourage curiosity about astronomy and space sciences, this tool needs 4 AA batteries, which are not included.
