Description

The Power House kit helps to teach about
alternative energy and sustainable living, by
conducting up to 100 experiments and building
energy-related models. Build the Power House
and then conduct experiments in and around the
house. Learn about energy-efficient construction
materials and passive house design. Experiment
with heating, cooling, conduction, convection, and
insulation. Investigate Earth’s climate, the water
cycle, and that inexhaustible power plant in the
sky: the sun. Test passive solar collection methods
with a solar collector. Hook up a photovoltaic
solar panel to generate electricity from sunlight.
Build wind turbines to extract energy from the
wind. Construct a greenhouse and learn about
the energy conservation tricks used by plants.
Power House can also be used in conjunction
with temperature or voltage datalogging sensors
to measure and record heat gains and losses or
voltage generated.
