Designed for both home and school use, this comprehensive and engaging curriculum gives young learners the tools to explore a key field in the future of our planet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThrough simple models that are quick to assemble and that incorporate valuable components such as a solar panel and voltage\/current meter, kids can explore relevant and important concepts related to alternative energy and sustainable living. Models include a sleek electric car that can be powered by a battery or directly by solar energy, a model house with solar panel, buzzer, and light, and more. Test out the hand crank generator to get a feel for how traditional fossil fuel plants create power or capture the energy of the wind to power a windmill model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA 32-page, full-color manual guides model building and explains what electricity is and how it’s generated, the difference between fossil fuel and green energy generation, wind and solar energy, batteries and electric vehicles, and voltage and current. Teachers and students can pair the easy-to-read digital meter that measures voltage and current with a micro:bit (sold separately) to collect data digitally, allowing users to investigate renewable energy like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eProject-based learning (PBL) that’s engaging, comprehensive, and NGSS-aligned for easy integration into at-home or classroom curricula\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eVisualize and experience different types of energy generation through hands-on models of real-life devices and machines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eSleek and easy-to-use modular building system allows pieces to be swapped, combined, and reconfigured in multiple ways\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eLarge, durable, and strong plastic building pieces designed for long-term use and experimentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eCompatible with micro:bit for ease of digital data collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 8-18+\u003cbr\u003eExperiments: 24\u003cbr\u003ePiece Count: 108\u003cbr\u003eManual Pages: 32\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions: 17.7 x 11.5 x 2.8 in.\u003cbr\u003eProduct Weight: 2.3 lbs\u003cbr\u003eManual Dimensions: 8.3 x 11.5 in.\u003cbr\u003eBatteries Required: AAA (3)\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Taiwan\u003cbr\u003eYear Released: 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eManual and Images\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thamesandkosmos.com\/manuals\/full\/627932_RenewEnergyLab-Manual_041025.pdf\" title=\"Download Manual for Renewable Energy Lab\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Manual (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/627932_RenewEnergyLab-Images_041025.zip?v=1780594240\" title=\"Download Hi-Res images for Renewable Energy Lab\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Hi-Res Images (ZIP)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/627932_RenewableEnergyLabClassroomResources_072125.pdf?v=1780594240\" title=\"Download additional online content\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Online Content (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCurriculum\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/RenewableEnergyLab-ScopeandSequence.pdf?v=1780594241\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Download Scope and Sequence (PDF)\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eScope \u0026amp; Sequence (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/RollerCoasterEngineering_TeacherGuideLesson1.pdf?v=1780594082\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Download Teacher Guide PDF\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTeacher Guide (sample PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/RollerCoasterEngineering_StudentWorkbookLesson1.pdf?v=1780594082\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Download Student Work Book PDF\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eStudent Workbook (sample PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Standards\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNGSS\u003c\/strong\u003e: MS-PS2-3, HS-PS2-4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3.d, 1.4.d, 1.7.a, 1.7.c (if done in teams)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTEL\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2O, 2P, 2U, 2W, 4L, 4Q, 4S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCC Math\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.EE.C.7.a, b, HSA.REI.A.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCC ELA\u003c\/strong\u003e: RST.6-8.4, RST.9-10.4, RST.11-12.4\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44069096947769,"sku":"627932","price":249.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/REL__0002_627932_RenewEngergyLab-3Dbox-Front.jpg?v=1753368512","url":"https:\/\/store.thamesandkosmos.com\/products\/renewable-energy-lab","provider":"Thames \u0026 Kosmos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
