Powerhouse - An Adventure in Sustainable Living
Looking for a way to introduce sustainable building and living to your kids,
Powerhouse is the answer. The kit focuses on the heat and light energy from the sun, the energy from the wind, as well as with electrochemical and plant energy. The Power House Experiment Manual is much more than just a set of instructions. The manual is organized around the story of a group of island dwellers who must learn to live sustainably using the resources available to them on their small island. As you read their journal entries and learn of their projects and experiments, you build models of the same projects and conduct the same experiments alongside them. With the Power House kit you can build a model house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system. You can build and operate an electric train, windmill, solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, sail car, and more! Plant watercress, prepare sauerkraut, and make chewing gum.
Learn how plants convert sunlight into energy for your body and your engines.Powerhouse will be sure to keep kids busy, and learning along the way!
