Description

This intuitive, state-of-the-art Renewable Energy Lab building kit from Thames and Kosmos demonstrates how renewable energy is generated and consumed! This comprehensive and engaging activity set gives young learners in schools and homes the tools to explore a key field in the future of our planet. Young STEM students can explore relevant and important concepts related to alternative energy and sustainable living with simple models that are easy to assemble and incorporate valuable components such as solar panels and voltage/current meters. The models include a sleek electric car powered by a battery or by solar energy, a model house with a solar panel, buzzer, and light, and more. A 32-page, full-color manual guides the model-building process and explains the important scientific concepts behind the models and their designs. Pair the easy-to-read digital voltage and current meter with a micro:bit (sold separately) to collect data digitally, allowing users to investigate renewable energy while incorporating other STEM disciplines. This set requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).
