Description

With the Green Engineering: Clean Energy and Sustainable Living building kit from Thames and Kosmos, children can construct and experiment with a model house that illustrates various aspects of renewable energy and green home design. Conduct experiments outlined in the manual that explore topics like solar cells, green roofs, and the impact of climate on energy consumption. This model house includes working models of real-world devices used at home, including a solar panel, a home energy storage battery, a water pump, LED lights, an electric lawn mower, and more. As kids discover how to supply their model house with renewable energy, Young engineers can learn all about clean forms of electricity, thermodynamics, green building practices, and how they can make their own home more energy efficient as they experiment and discover how to supply the model house with renewable energy. 3 Rechargeable AA batteries are required (but not included). The model house measures approximately 14 L x 7 W x 8 H inches.
