Product Information

An engaging introduction to regenerative energy sources, this activity kit demonstrates basic concepts of physical science through hands-on modeling. The kit was developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey to integrate physical science and technology lessons with the adventure of building a home and living on a remote island. To survive, you must learn how to harness the power of the sun and the wind as well as tap the energy of other physical forces. The storyline follows the experiments in a stepwise fashion. Students build a model house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system. An electric train, windmill, solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, and sail car, are among the other building projects included that create working models for students to study heat, light, wind power, solar energy, and even plant energy. Experiment manual includes the storyline, activity instructions, 20 building chapters, and more.
