Builds 9 Renewable Energy Models from K'NEX!Wind, Solar and Hydro Powered models that are all operational!
Compare and contrast the power and efficiency of three different alternative energy sources
Models focus on physical science concepts such as force, motion, simple machines, leverage, mechanical advantage, work, energy and efficiency.
Comprehensive teacher's guide aligned to NSES, ITEEA, NCTM and Common Core Mathematics standards included.
9 BUILDING IDEAS - Children will enjoy creating 9 fully functioning models with the colorful Renewable Energy Set. This set's plastic pieces and connectors can be combined to make a moving shuttle ride using the solar panel or a sail car using the wind. Unleash your children's creativity by giving them a gift they can design and build on their own.
OFFERS HANDS-ON LEARNING - K'NEX Education introduces scientific inquiry, investigation, and experimentation to children by letting them build 9 different renewable energy models. Children can create interactive models that move on their own. They can build a crank man using the solar panel or compare and contrast the power and efficiency of wind, water, and solar energy.
PROMOTES TEAMWORK - Encourage your children and their friends to learn about renewable energy through playtime! The Renewable Energy Set is specially designed for children ages 10 and up. K'NEX Education can accommodate 6 to 12 children working in teams with its 583 colorful pieces. This engineering toy promotes teamwork, camaraderie, and social skills development.
CONVENIENT STORAGE - For every purchase of this educational toy, you also get a durable green storage tub. Once playtime is finished, store the colorful pieces inside the portable plastic container. Keep your children entertained on family outings by bringing along the K'NEX Education Renewable Energy Set.
STEAMagination : It's the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a child's natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every K'NEX building set. Building with K'NEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects.
LESSON PLANS AND EXPERIMENTS: All K'NEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in today's busy classroom. ALIGNED TO NATIONAL STANDARDS: K'NEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core.
REAL WORLD LEARNING: Study after study reveals that students have more success learning STEM subjects through activities related to the real world rather than reading about abstract concepts in textbooks. K'NEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and contraptions and through the lesson plans and experiments, gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work.
