Brand: Thames & Kosmos

Engineering for the future begins at home. With this kit, kids will construct and experiment with a model house that demonstrates different aspects of green architecture and sustainable building design. What can solar cells be used for? What influence does climate have on energy consumption? What are the benefits of a green roof? Answers to these and many other exciting questions about green energy technology and sustainable living become clear as kids conduct the experiments and projects outlined in the full-color manual. The house includes working models of a variety of real-life devices used at home, including a solar panel, a home energy storage battery, a model heat pump, LED lights, an electric lawn mower, and more. As kids discover how to supply their model house with renewable energy, they’ll learn all about clean forms of electricity, thermodynamics, real-life green building practices, and how they can make their own home more energy efficient.

Features:

• HANDS-ON LEARNING & DISCOVERY: Kids ages 8 & up can construct a model home with a variety of features that demonstrate different aspects of green architecture and sustainable living. Model house measures approximately 14” long, 8” tall, 7” wide.
