In this kit, you can learn about alternative energy and sustainableliving by conducting experiments and building energy-related models.Thirty of the best experiments and the ten most important buildingprojects from the original Power House kit are presented in this newGreen Essentials Edition.
The ten building projects include: the power house itself, agreenhouse, a solar cell array, a passive solar collector, a solaroven, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a hydrometer, a lemonbattery, and a wind power generator.
Experiment with the heating, cooling, and insulation of the house andgreenhouse. Test passive solar collection methods with a solarcollector. Assemble a solar power array to explore active solar powerwith photovoltaics. Build a model refrigerator and air conditioner tolearn about heat transfer. Experiment with a lemon battery to learnabout power storage. Set up a wind turbine to generate electricity fromthe wind.
As you perform the experiments, you will read the diary entries of agroup of young explorers who are learning to live a sustainableexistence on an island. To survive, they must implement real-worldversions of the projects you are doing in the kit. Ages 10 and up.
WARNING: Not to be used by children except under the supervision of adults who have familiarized themselves with the experiments and safety precautions in the manual. Only for use by children 10 years of age or older. Components in this kit may be sharp, breakable, or have sharp edges. Handle with caution. Follow all instructions in the manual. Keep away from small children. Not for children under 3 years.
