Thames & Kosmos Renewable Energy Lab

Hands-On Projects For The Clean Energy Future

An intuitive, state-of-the-art kit that demonstrates how renewable energy is generated and consumed! Designed for both home and school use, this comprehensive and engaging curriculum gives young learners the tools to explore a key field in the future of our planet.

Through simple models that are quick to assemble and that incorporate valuable components such as a solar panel and voltage/current meter, kids can explore relevant and important concepts related to alternative energy and sustainable living. Models include a sleek electric car that can be powered by a battery or directly by solar energy, a model house with solar panel, buzzer, and light, and more. Test out the hand crank generator to get a feel for how traditional fossil fuel plants create power or capture the energy of the wind to power a windmill model.

• Includes a lesson in creating your own AI using household items (paper and cups)
• A 32-page, full-colour manual guides model building and explains what electricity is and how it’s generated
• The difference between fossil fuel and green energy generation, wind and solar energy, batteries and electric vehicles, and voltage and current. 
•  Teachers and students can pair the easy-to-read digital meter that measures voltage and current with a microbit (sold separately) to collect data digitally, allowing users to investigate renewable energy like never before.
• For Ages 8+
• Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years. Choking hazard — small parts.
