An intuitive, state-of-the-art kit that demonstrates how renewable energy is generated and consumed! Designed for both home and school use, this comprehensive and engaging curriculum gives young learners the tools to explore a key field in the future of our planet.

Through simple models that are quick to assemble and that incorporate valuable components such as a solar panel and voltage/current meter, kids can explore relevant and important concepts related to alternative energy and sustainable living. Models include a sleek electric car that can be powered by a battery or directly by solar energy, a model house with solar panel, buzzer, and light, and more. Test out the hand crank generator to get a feel for how traditional fossil fuel plants create power or capture the energy of the wind to power a windmill model.

A 32-page, full-color manual guides model building and explains what electricity is and how it’s generated, the difference between fossil fuel and green energy generation, wind and solar energy, batteries and electric vehicles, and voltage and current. Teachers and students can pair the easy-to-read digital meter that measures voltage and current with a microbit (sold separately) to collect data digitally, allowing users to investigate renewable energy like never before.
