Hydropower Science Kit
Description
Now, instead of admiring the raw power of rushing water from a distance, the Hydropower Science Kit from Thames & Kosmos lets kids explore the intricacies of water power on their own! Perfect for the child interested in the environment and renewable energy, the Hydropower Science Kit provides all of the supplies to build a waterwheel, a sawmill, and a hammer mill - all of which harness the energy of moving water for various types of physical work. In addition to these experiments, young scientists can perform experiments involving surface tension, adhesion, and cohesion; learn about water pressure by building a water tower, communicating vessels, and a water fountain; and construct a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity and light an LED. The Hydropower Science Kit is an excellent introduction to the physics force and motion that applies to hydroelectric power, while also teaching about the advantages of using water as a resource. And, to help young scientists to complete experiments and learn about alternative energy, the Hydropower Science Kit from Thames & Kosmos includes a full-color, 32-page experiment manual that explains where water energy comes from and how we can generate electricity from it. Thames & Kosmos donates 1% of suggested retail price to environmentally focused non-profit organizations for every sale of the Hydropower Science Kit.
