Wind Power Science Kit

Description

Now, instead of admiring wind farms from a distance, the Wind Power Science Kit from Thames & Kosmos lets kids build a wind turbine of their very own! Perfect for the child interested in the environment and renewable energy, the Wind Power Science Kit provides all of the supplies to assemble a wind turbine complete with an electric generator, adjustable rotors, and a wind speed indicator. Once assembled, the Wind Power Science Kit provides over 20 different experiments to conduct with the turbine, including experiments with different numbers of rotor blades, different blade angles, different wind speeds, different gear ratios and more! In addition to these experiments, kids will be able to use the wind turbine to generate electricity to light an LED light or charge a rechargeable battery, while also generating mechanical power to lift a heavy weight. The Wind Power Science Kit is an excellent introduction to the physics of force and motion that applies to wind power, while also teaching about the advantages of using wind as a resource. To help little scientists complete their experiments and learn about alternative energy, the Wind Power Science Kit from Thames & Kosmos includes a full-color, 32-page experiment manual with illustrated instructions. Thames & Kosmos donates 1% of suggested retail price to environmentally focused non-profit organizations.
