DESCRIPTION

Sustainable living means that we must use Earth’s resources at a rate at which they can be replenished, and thus provide for future generations to live as we have. In this kit, kids can learn about alternative energy and sustainable living by conducting experiments and building energy-related models. Thirty of the best experiments and the ten most important building projects from the original Power House kit are presented in this new Green Essentials Edition.

The ten building projects include:

the power house itself
a greenhouse
a solar cell array
a passive solar collector
a solar oven
an air conditioner
a refrigerator
a hydrometer
a lemon battery
a wind power generator

Once kids have built the projects, they'll go more in-depth with experiments:

Experiment with the heating, cooling, and insulation of the house and greenhouse.
Test passive solar collection methods with the solar collector.
Explore active solar power with photovoltaics using the solar power array.
Learn about heat transfer with the refrigerator and air conditioner.
Experiment with the lemon battery to learn about power storage.
Generate electricity from the wind using the wind turbine.

As kids perform the experiments, they'll read the diary entries of a group of young explorers who are learning to live a sustainable existence on an island. To survive, they must implement real-world versions of the projects that kids are doing in the kit. Kit comes with a 64-page, full-color experiment manual.

Ages 10 and up.
