But the structure itself wasn't very sturdy and parts didn't fit as stated. in one section we were suppose to place the thermometer inside the house and into the solar collector, but the hole were the thermometer was suppouse to go was in the wrong side of the roof. I studied the building and the instructions all night before doing the experiment with the children in the morning, but it clearly was made wrong. This is one example of a couple of minor such instances. But for the price, I expected a bit more. That being said, we persevered and completed the lessons. It was great fun and amazing knowledge. I just wish I could build a new house and follow many of these examples.
