Alternative Energy Learning Activities

Description:   Developed in collaboration with a science teacher from Pennsylvania, our build your own solar LED Jar light is a fun and creative way to teach and learn about solar electricity. Use your own mason jar or recycled jar and build a colorful LED light that automatically comes on at night and goes off at dawn. Comes with everything you need. This kit requires soldering. Tools needed are soldering iron, solder & flux, hot glue gun, electric drill, 3V 70mA Polycrystalline Solar Panel, Dusk/dawn circuit board, 2 Bright 5mm LED's BLUE, 2 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries & Battery holder and wires.
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this kit are being donated to help provide solar lighting solutions to disadvantaged communities in Africa.

Description:   The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient.

Description:   All you need to add is a wind source, basic tools, and imagination!

Description:   This kit enables a number of advanced experiments, especially with GENPack generator module. Try different gear ratios, blade designs, generators, and more, in a creative, hands-on inquiry into wind energy science. This nacelle also converts for conducting weightlifting experiments, making it a great option for studying mechanical and electrical energy.

Description:   Teach Basic Physics and Chemistry With this Exciting Car of the Future That Runs on Distilled Water and Sunlight

Description:   The Reversible Fuel Cell combines the functions of an electrolyzer and a fuel cell into ONE device. When applying an electrical current the device acts as an electrolyzer that produces hydrogen and oxygen from de-ionized water. When applying a load, the device behaves as a fuel cell and generates electricity from hydrogen.

Description:   For physics experiments and demonstrations such as kinetic, density and volume measurements, pendulum bob, potential energy and conservation experiments, ballistics etc. Solid ball, 1-1/2" (40mm) diameter. Made of Steel. Sold as a pair. Comes with a Teacher's Guide.

Description:   Create your own computer controller dual axis solar tracker in under and hour, using only a screw driver.

Description:   The Motion Detector Clamp screws into the back of the Motion Detector, and then can be clamped to a variety of objects such as table tops, ring stands, etc.

Description:   Demonstrate the conversion energy into different forms.

Description:   Demonstrate Newton’s Laws and the conservation of energy and momentum with the amazing new Air Puck!

Description:   Radiation cans for demonstrating solar energy and heat transfer.
