About this item
- The model is an excellent way to illustrate Earth's rotation, the planet's revolution around the sun, the seasons of the year, and the orbit of our moon - all in one!
- This device can serve to illustrate to a young child that Earth spins on its axis, that the moon orbits Earth every 28 days, and the Earth orbits the sun once a year,Can help child's astronomy class better understand moon phases, eclipses, season, etc.
- You can learn about the 24 Solar Terms used by farmers in China,It's pretty easy, it comes in English.
- There is a raised button on the sun model, Remove the wire and push the button, the sun will give out light.
- Note: This item will be interesting to kids who are starting to get excited about astronomy, but It is not suitable for rigorous astronomy scientific research!

Customers say the science fundamentals kit is a great product for classrooms. They say it's very useful and conveys the important motions and alignments well. They also say it does a pretty good job of displaying the orbital relationships. However, some customers have reported issues with ease of assembly and movement. They mention that there are no instructions on how to assemble it, and the directions are a joke. Customers also differ on value.

I like the device. Sure there's a lunar and solar eclipse every "month" because it's mechanically simpler but that offers an opportunity to explain why they don't happen that way in reality.
It's not obvious in the description but there's a detented on/off pushbutton on back the "Sun" that illuminates an LED aimed at the "earth". This allows the Earth or Moon to "eclipse" the light from the Sun casting a shadows on each other. Neat.
Nothing was given to piece these two parts together. Two screw and two nuts but the screws aren’t long enough to fit and even if they did the cog wouldn’t go on…….no instructions. Awful don’t buy. I from the packaging it looked like returned items they tried to piece together. Dumb idea. It seemed like a cool mode for kids’ science.
1. Put the sun’s metal post in the center hole and the long metal wire in the red arrow.
2. Put the two nuts in the holes (opposite end of the handle)
3. Put one black gear on the end of the post on the Earth diagram.
4. Hold the two diagrams together. Put the screws in coming up from the bottom. This is tricky. Try not to turn it upside down when you do this.
5. Put the last black gear on the post under the screws you just screwed in.
6. Hold the gear in place with the black peg.
* double check it all works before you put in the black peg or it will be a pain to take it apart again.
