Rubber stamp the real weather on a given day or what the students would like the weather to be. With this set of 12 different high quality stamps, learn about the changing weather patterns.

Investigate human impacts on the environment while building your own models

Organize a DIY race, fueled by hydrogen generated electricity!

Synthetic owl pellets provide a safe, realistic, and reusable dissection experience, featuring hand-crafted replicas of skeletons and carefully imitated contents that closely mimic natural owl pellets.

Polycrystalline solar cell with wires used for educational purposes.

This balsa wood is pre-shaped in an airfoil shape.

All you need to add is a wind source, basic tools, and imagination!

This kit enables a number of advanced experiments, especially with GENPack generator module. Try different gear ratios, blade designs, generators, and more, in a creative, hands-on inquiry into wind energy science. This nacelle also converts for conducting weightlifting experiments, making it a great option for studying mechanical and electrical energy.

Balsa wood is very lightweight and stiff, and it is perfect for making experimental wind turbine blades.

KidWind blade pitch protractor, incredibly helpful for measuring the blade pitch angle on your KidWind turbine.

The simpleGEN is an easy-to-build AC generator that allows students to explore the basics of electrical generator design. With the simpleGEN, you can demonstrate Faraday’s law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets, and rotation affect electrical generation. With some quick modifications, you will be able to convert your generator to a simple motor and explore additional variables. You can also take your experiments to the next level by converting your simpleGEN into a wind turbine nacelle.

Chipboard is a stiff, easy to cut, lightweight, low cost, and recyclable material used to make simple wind turbine blades.

These dowels are used for designing and testing wind turbine blades and fit into the Wind Turbine Hub.

Experiment with gear ratios on your wind turbine or other small projects. Adding gears to your turbine can greatly increase the generator RPM, giving you higher power output. The small 8-tooth gear fits on 2 mm driveshafts that are found on many DC generators. The gears have a keying feature that allows them to be changed quickly and easily using the included hex locks. The hex lock secures to our 9/64 inch hex-driveshaft. Hex-driveshaft not included.

The GENPack allows students to construct their own electrical generator and perform experiments with electricity and magnetism. Changing variables in the generator design will impact current and voltage output. The GENPack is perfect for physics and electrical students exploring Faraday’s law, induction, AC/DC electricity production, and energy transformations. We recommend this kit for advanced middle school students and older.
