Thames & Kosmos Green Engineering STEM Kit | Build & Experiment with an Energy-Efficient Model Home, Explore Clean Energy, Sustainable Living, Includes Solar Panel, LEDs, Sensors, Ideal for Classrooms

Description HANDS-ON LEARNING & DISCOVERY: Kids ages 8 & up can construct a model home with a variety of features that demonstrate different aspects of green architecture and sustainable living. Model house measures approximately 14” long, 8” tall, 7” wide. REAL-WORLD MODEL DEVICES: This comprehensive kit includes a solar panel, home energy storage battery, water pump to create a climate control system, LEDs, light sensor, robotic lawn mower, green roof for growing plants, and more! WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: As kids build, experiment, and discover how to supply their model house with renewable energy, they’ll explore green building practices and make connections to systems they can incorporate into their own lives to promote sustainable living. THOROUGH, FULL-COLOR MANUAL: The 32-page experiment manual provides step-by-step instructions and effective, concise, and interesting explanations of the scientific concepts explored. GREAT FOR CLASSROOMS: Easy-to-build, with engaging experiments, this kit is ideal for classrooms or group presentations about clean energy and sustainable living. Engineering for the future begins at home. With this kit, kids will construct and experiment with a model house that demonstrates different aspects of green architecture and sustainable building design. What can solar cells be used for? What influence does climate have on energy consumption? What are the benefits of a green roof? Answers to these and many other exciting questions about green energy technology and sustainable living become clear as kids conduct the experiments and projects outlined in the full-color manual. The house includes working models of a variety of real-life devices used at home, including a solar panel, a home energy storage battery, a model heat pump, LED lights, an electric lawn mower, and more. As kids discover how to supply their model house with renewable energy, they’ll learn all about clean forms of electricity, thermodynamics, real-life green building practices, and how they can make their own home more energy efficient.
