Renewable Energy Science Education Kit 2.0

Renewable Energy Science Education Kit 2.0 Grades: 6-12 Number of Students: 4 to 5 per kit Number of Lessons: 16 Hours of Content: 5-13 Additional Resources: Data Sheet, User Manual   Highlights: The Renewable Energy Science Kit demonstrates the workings of a clean energy technology system on a miniature scale. Power an electrical circuit by solar panel or a wind turbine with profiled blades based on NASA aeronautics. Generate hydrogen through water electrolysis and convert it into electricity using a PEM fuel cell. Whichever combination of technologies you want to explore, this science kit is a comprehensive introduction to the principles behind renewable microgrids. Features: Full PBL unit on clean power generation includes an exploration of the environmental effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Hands-on activities center on complementary attributes of different renewable energy sources. Complete student and teacher materials for up to 10 class periods of activities.   Curriculum or Lesson Topics: What is included in the horizon energy curriculum?
