“(The set) is well organized and all hands on. You can put it into the hands of students; it’s not something teachers just show their class. All the activities can be modified, allowing for students to learn at their own pace. The set allows for differentiation. It comes with a good glossary with basic terms, not overwhelming. The energy meter has a nice display of amps, joules, etc. that allows for easy readability by students. The set keeps the content simple: no excess bells and whistles. Good beginning to step into energy studies.”

The Renewable Energy Add-on Set is designed as an addition to the Simple & Motorized Mechanisms Set, the core set in our Machines & Mechanisms range. When the Renewable Energy Add-On Set is combined with the customized activity pack, students will explore renewable energy sources; investigate energy supply, transfer, accumulation, conversion, and consumption; and use measurements and data analysis to describe and explain outcomes through hands-on activities and exciting, real-life models.

Extend the use of the Add-on Set by combining it with the LEGO^®MINDSTORMS^®Education range. Students will experiment using energy from their own bodies and the three main energy sources – solar, wind, and water – to generate, store, and use power. When connected to the NXT Brick, the unique elements of the Renewable Energy Add-On Set (solar panel, generator, and LEGO Energy Meter) work as sensors.

This pack is designed for those who already have a classroom supply of Simple and Motorized Mechanisms or LEGO^® MINDSTORMS^® Education sets and are ready to incorporate green learning into their classroom. This pack includes:
