Snap Circuits Arcade |
This kit can be used to help your students begin to learn how
electrical circuits a
re created and the power necessary to complete the machines.
Snap Circuits Arcade
This kit is much like the original Snap Circuits kit, but adds games
to be played depending on how the circuit board is set up. Students can get a quick introduction to pro
gramming and coding from the activities offered.

Code-a-piller |
This kit is excellent for teaching young
learners
problem solving,
experimentation, and open-ended thinking via coding. Great for
kindergarten classes because of the lights and sounds of the Code-a-pillar.
Bloxels
Bloxels is an advanced kit that allows the student to use their
|

creativity to create a video game of their own design. This kit prompts critical
th
inking skills and experimentation all while maintaining your student's attention.
Makey Makey
This kit is great for lessons about natural energy production and
conductivity. Creating activities from this software highlights new

ways
of using sustainable energy sources to students.
Solar Cell Kit
Solar Cell Classroom Sets have all the equipment to allow
hands-on
explorations of solar power and electricity. They contain enough
solar cells,
motors, and equipment to engage a classroom full of students. Activities using the Solar Schoolhouse Solar Cell Classroom Set range from kindergarten classes experiencing the photovoltaic effect (sunlight makes the motor spin) to colleges and
t
rade s
chools plotting
the IV curves of solar modules.

SolRun Kit
Motor bushings slide onto the motor shaft, and into the hub-hole of
any of the three sizes of pulleys or five sizes of gears, giving a wide selection of direct solar drives. Experiment with different gear
ratios and pulley combinations, as well as different drive mechanisms.
Solar Oven

This activity is perfect for teaching your students about alternative
energy so
urces and keeping them attentive with an edible award!
The solar oven requires minimal set up and clean up, so it is great
for a quick lesson.
Advanced Wind Kit
This kit is an introductory activity to the engineering behind wind energy. Students will construct a windmill while learning about the

physic necessary to propel the machines and create the energy
that
they store.
This wind kit is geared for experimentation in harvesting the full potential of wind energy by allowing them to use different materials
to discern the most effective method to catching the wind.
