squishy circuits
Renewable energy, built by hand. Build a solar-powered light, a wind generator with small and large fan blades, and a backup power system that keeps LEDs lit after the sun goes down. The 44-page Exploring Green Energy guidebook walks older learners through each experiment, making it a strong pick for older elementary kids, middle school, or early high school science classes.
