Science Collection: Earth & Space Sciences

Get up close and learn all about the hybrid technology that’s revolutionizing today’s cars and trucks. The easily constructed Hydrocar enables students to experiment with world-changing technology – right in the classroom!

Learn how contemporary conservation experts convert hydropower into electricity for increasing efficiency in a number of industrial areas. Using the Hydropower Kit, kids can observe the properties of water, experiment with surface tension and learn all about water pressure.

Combine purpose and invention as kids enlist their entrepreneurial skills to design and create their very own clean energy applications while working directly with solar energy. Increase aptitude in this important area by building functional devices as you learn about central concepts. Kids will explore solar energy, hydrogen fuel cells, basic electronics and more as they follow the assembly guide and build solar-powered inventions.

Power House is the ideal kit for actively immersing science students in an in-depth overview of alternative energy options that technology has helped to create. Kids as young as 10 can grasp the importance of energy and conservation made tangible through the collaborative creation of hands-on models and scalable projects. The Power House kit is all about energy-efficient construction and its comprehensive project guide gets kids started with experiments in heating, cooling, conduction, convection, solar energy and more.

Use the kit to explore how sun, wind, and water can supply the power to make things move and work.

The Solar Mechanics Kit is ideal for illustrating how solar cells convert energy from sunlight into usable mechanical energy. This hands-on crash course in solar power helps kids identify all the ways in which solar energy can be used and the factors which affect its effectiveness.

The Wind Power Kit from Thames & Kosmos is the ultimate environmental toolbox to help kids learn about one of the most promising sources of clean energy available. Interactive experiments include a working wind turbine, harnessing mechanical energy and generating electricity to light an LED – right in the classroom! Learn how and why wind is able to be used as a legitimate source of energy for powering the modern world.

Using the Solar Deluxe Educational Kit, kids as young as eight can explore environmental innovation and learn how to implement planet-saving problem solving. It facilitates a series of do-it-yourself experiments that help students learn all about electronics and conservation. They’ll become masters of saving energy, power devices with solar energy and more.
