Alternative Energy Education: Sustainable Living in the 21st Century

Alternative Energy Science KitTeach your kids about alternative energy and the basic principles of physical science with a super educational kit from Thames and Kosmos.

Integrating technology, physical science and the adventures of living on a remote island and building a house, Power House teaches children about harnessing the power of the sun, the wind, electrochemical and plant energy. Power House was developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey, and includes a 96 page manual, 70 different experiments, and 20 projects to build.

Projects include:

  • a lemon battery
  • a windmill
  • solar panels
  • a sail car
  • a greenhouse
  • a desalination system
  • an electric train
  • an electric motor
  • a solar cooker
  • a refrigerator
  • a power hoist

Also available from Thames and Kosmos is a Wind Power kit. Projects include building a working wind turbine, generating electricity to light an LED and charge a battery, and learning the physics of wind turbines. Thames and Kosmos is donating 1% of the sales of the Wind Power kit to environmental non-profit organizations in the United States, like the Apeiron Institute for Sustainable Living in Rhode Island.

I think I want a Power House and a Wind Power kit for myself!

    Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has a custom Lego wind turbine that I think I want more than my kids do.

    This looks so cool! We just drove across the Northern States and were in awe by all of the turbines we saw so close to the highway. I want to learn more about them. Half of them weren’t spinning. Not sure why.

    Thanks for this post. I am trying to buy eco-friendly yet educational gifts for the kids for Christmas this year, and this kit seems perfect.
