Pludo Orbit Master - DIY Science Experiment Kit for Kids 11–14 | Electric Sun-Earth-Moon STEM Toy (Grade 6–8)
Pludo Orbit Master, a hands-on science experiment kit designed to help kids aged 11–14 explore how the Sun, Earth, and Moon interact in our solar system.
Crafted to inspire curiosity and critical thinking, this educational toy bridges theory with practical learning, making complex astronomy concepts easier to understand.
As children assemble and observe the model, they gain a deeper understanding of astronomy concepts such as orbits, rotations, relative motion, and light effects. The Orbit Master works using an electric motor–driven gear system. When powered on, the motor rotates interconnected gears at different speeds, simulating the revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the orbit of the Moon around the Earth. This controlled mechanical motion helps learners visualize orbital paths, rotation speed differences, and basic mechanical transmission in a clear, hands-on way.
A perfect blend of learning and fun, the Orbit Master helps children visualize celestial mechanics, enhancing their understanding of orbits, rotations, and light effects.
It’s one of the best science kits for kids to spark a lifelong interest in physics and space exploration.
What Your Child Will Learn:
- Understand rotation, revolution, and how they cause day–night cycles and seasonal changes.
- Explore how the Moon orbits Earth, creating lunar phases such as new moon, full moon, and crescents.
- Visualize the scale and motion of the Sun–Earth–Moon system through a model they build themselves.
- Strengthen spatial reasoning, observation skills, and scientific thinking.
- Build confidence and curiosity by assembling a functional astronomy learning model.
Educational Outcomes:
-
Astronomy Concepts: Learn the fundamentals of celestial motion, phases of the Moon, and Earth–Sun relationships.
-
Scientific Inquiry: Develop the ability to question, observe, interpret and predict scientific phenomena.
-
Problem-Solving: Strengthen logical reasoning through a model that requires careful thinking and assembly.

-
Creativity & Exploration: Spark a deeper interest in space science, the solar system, and STEM fields.
Did You Know?
The Moon always shows the same face to Earth because it rotates at the same speed it revolves — a phenomenon called synchronous rotation!
