Help your students understand the basics of renewable energy concepts and ensure lasting STEM comprehension in your classroom!

This Renewable Energy set uses 9 models and 28 experiments to clearly explain the generation, storage and use of electricity from the natural energy sources of water, wind and sun light.

Components in this set include a solar motor (2VDC),2 solar modules (1VDC, 400mA),a goldcap energy storage device, an LED, a fuel cell, a voltage converter, and a multimeter.

Also includes access to downloadable tutorial materials with 28 different experiments.

Renewable energies are becoming increasingly important to our future.  The CLASS SET Solar Energy is the perfect method for introducing young students to this vitally important topic. With three quickly assembled models, the basics of solar energy can be taught in class using ten ready-made tasks, including solutions, with lots of fun and exciting insights.

• Main topics energy generation from renewable solar energy, series-parallel connection
• Includes downloadable teaching and activity material (free download)
• Set includes 2 solar modules,  1V solar motor, mini push-button

Fundamentals of Engineering and Construction: The ideal technology construction set for all future mechanical engineers. The areas of dynamics, statics, gears, structure, and bracing are all addressed as students learn by building models that illustrate the principles behind these concepts. This set will help students to answer questions such as:

• How does a gear box work?
• What is a planetary gear?
• How is the movement of a windshield wiper produced?
• How do you design a stable bridge?
• ...and much more.

Requires 9V battery (not included).

Learn and understand the principles of Solar Power with the fischertechnik Education Solar: Beginner kit. Renewable energy sources will play an increasingly significant role in future. A solar module generates electricity from the energy of the sun to move the solar boats and the solar car. Whether on water or land, the construction set is a learning-by-playing approach to solar power. The solar module and solar motor can be used to make a solar vehicle, a ventilating fan and two floating ship models ("Solar Catamaran" and "Paddle Steamer"). The instructional activity information about solar is available online (fischertechnik-eLearning.com).
