Educational Materials
A comprehensive catalog of education materials, instruments, and tools available through Avantor allows users to more effectively teach subjects of biology, physics, language arts, chemistry, earth science, forensics, math, and environmental studies. Many interdisciplinary kits allow students to match skills across a variety of subjects in order to better absorb key concepts and procedures. Educational materials are designed to be durable and user-friendly for accessibility with users of all levels.
KidWind® Nacelle
Build a complete turbine by making your own tower and base with PVC pipe (from a hardware store) or use the KidWind Tower and Base Set. You will also need a generator and a way to affix the turbine blades. We recommend using the KidWind Wind Turbine Generator with Wires and a KidWind Hub.

KidWind simpleGEN AC Generator
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.
