Build a model GREEN house that uses alternative energy sources -
with more than 70 experiments and 20 Building Projects

The Power House Alternative Energy Science Experiment Kit provides an engaging introduction to regenerative energy sources while teaching basic concepts and principles in physical science. The kit focuses on the heat and light energy from the sun, the energy from the wind, as well as with electrochemical and plant energy. You will learn how to transform and use these forms of energy.

With the Power House kit you can build a model house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system. You can build and operate an electric train, windmill, solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, sail car, and more! Plant watercress, prepare sauerkraut, and make chewing gum. Learn how plants convert sunlight into energy for your body and your engines.

Build a model house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system! A fun, fascinating way for children 12 and up to learn hands-on about sustainable living in the 21st Century!

• Build a model house and 20 other energy related devices, including a windmill, solar water heater, solar oven, solar grid, greenhouse, refrigerator, and air conditioner

• Grow plants and preserve food

• Collect the sun's rays to heat water

• Cook a potato with sunlight

• Learn about the principles of light

• Make fresh water from salt water

• Learn how the heat of evaporation provides cooling

• Extract electric current from sunlight and metals in acid

• Galvanize a nail and split water into hydrogen and oxygen

• Generate electricity with magnets -- and lots more to experiment and learn!

The thoughtfully designed series of experiments was developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey. Professor Wandrey creatively integrates 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. Easy-to-follow activities make it fun to build models and use them for your experiments.

Building the small models provided in Power House will help boost confidence and understanding regarding alternative energy sources, and provide the inspiration for planning and constructing on a larger scale. The possibilities are endless!

The included 96-page full color Power House Experiment Manual is organized around the story of a group of island dwellers who must learn to live sustainably using the resources available to them on their small island. As you read their journal entries and learn of their projects and experiments, you build models of the same projects and conduct the same experiments alongside them.

More than 70 experiments and 20 different building projects in one kit!

Kit Features:

The Heat Trap: Construct and experiment with a greenhouse.

The Sun Collector: Collect the sun’s rays to heat water.

The Sun Burners: Make a solar cooker while learning about the principles of light before you cook rice and bake bread.

The Water Vampire: Desalinate water, plant watercress, produce sauerkraut and make chewing gum.

The Heat Absorbers: Learn how heat of evaporation provides cooling, conduct experiments about air humidity, build a hygrometer and test a refrigerator.

Power Plants: Grow beans, make a potted plant feed a candle, harvest sunflower energy, build an oil press, and assemble an oil lamp.

The Energy Converters: Extract electric current from sunlight and metals in acid, build a light telephone, galvanize a nail and split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

The Forces of Magnetism: Generate electric current with magnetic fields. Build a current indicator, electric and solar motors, a transfer switch, and a crane. Lift pencils with the sun and learn about levers. Build an electric car.

Wings in the Wind: Build a sail car and learn how wings and sails transform energy. Learn to sail with the wind, by the wind, and against the wind and examine a mixed energy vehicle.

Ages 12 and up.
