(Power House Green Essentials Kit
Explore alternative energy sources and sustainable living through hands-on experiments using real materials!This kit includes 30 of the best projects from the original Power House kit. You'll get to follow along with the adventures of a group living on a remote island, building a power house, greenhouse, solar cell array, solar oven, air conditioner, refrigerator, hydrometer, lemon-powered battery, and a wind-power generator. Includes an information-packed manual and most of the materials for completing the 30 experiments and 10 building projects. Some household items required. Ages 10 & up.
Want to use this kit for a science fair project? See our experiment ideas below to get you started.
A wide variety of topics are covered:- solar heating
- heat & temperature
- refraction of light
- parabolic mirrors
- water desalination
- photosynthesis
- evaporation & cooling
- humidity & water vapor
- electric current
- electrolysis
- generators

Science Fair Project Ideas:
- Can you design an effective way to use the alternative energy sources in this kit (wind energy, electrolysis, solar energy) in combination?
- Experiment with temperature and how it affects evaporation and humidity.
- Can you still use power from the sun on a cloudy day? What about using a bright light bulb instead of sunlight?
