Kraul Solar Airship Kit - Kids STEM Science

Learn how to create a Lighter Than Air vehicle with the Kraul Solar Airship kit. This STEM science kit includes a recyclable black plastic airship tube (3 x 1m) and string.

When the black plastic bag is filled with air, solar energy heats the air inside the bag, making it less dense than the surrounding air and causing it to rise upwards. The difference in density is a force known as buoyancy, and counteracts the weight of the object - in this case, the airship envelope. 

This Airship Kit will be enjoyed by children exploring the trajectory schema, developing an understanding of cause-and-effect relationships by learning about how objects and themselves move. This type of play is part of natural child development and supports learning through movement and repetition.

Ideal for home learning, classroom science, or quiet observation, the Kraul Airship is best suited for children aged 6 and over. It carries the Spiel Gut mark, a respected German recognition for toys that are well designed, educational and fun. 

Made in Germany by Kraul, this airship kit is part of a range of thoughtful science toys that bring natural forces to life through real-world exploration and play.

Not suitable for children under 3 years
