Available Programs
There are 4 programs available for Renewable Energy:
Solar (3-6)
Harness the renewable energy of the sun! Students will learn about how solar power works and then put their knowledge to use as they create and test 3 solar powered models. Through experimentation, students will discover the power of the sun.
Water (3-6)
A basic human need, water is more than just a tasty beverage. This resource can be used to generate energy in a variety of renewable ways. Students will build 3 different prototypes and test the power of water.
Wind (3-6)
Your students will be blown away by wind power as they construct and experiment with models that captures this powerful renewable energy source.
Combo (3-6)
Students will explore each of the following renewable energy sources – solar, wind, water. They will create and test 1 model for each energy source. Through experimentation, students will receive an overview of each type.
