Thames & Kosmos Science Kits & Toys 550037 Editorial Review
The Thames & Kosmos Orbiting Solar System STEM Kit is a great option for those looking for an affordable orrery model. It is also an excellent educational toy, as it offers a good degree of educational value. However, this is not a rugged plaything, and it needs to be handled with care. Although the model needs some careful attention to detail to be properly assembled, the instructions are easy to follow. Also, some average model making experience is required to work with the many small parts. It works well enough and should last if you're careful not to overwind it.
