Climate and environmental protection are key values in today's world – that’s why we are working to teach kids about this important issue through play. To learn about generating, storing and using electricity from natural sources, children can build exciting models that move using wind, water, or solar power and teach them about applied technology in a fun way. This helps stimulate their interest in these types of energy, which will become even more important in the future. The H2 Fuel Cell Car (Art. no. 559880) is a great addition. This expansion set can be used to build additional models that run on a fuel cell.

How can you generate electricity in an environmentally friendly way? How does a fuel cell work, and how can it be used to generate hydrogen? Renewable energies are the most important energy sources of the future. The generation, storage and use of electricity from the natural energy sources of water, wind and sun are clearly explained using nine models and 28 experiments.
