Alternative Energy Learning Activities

Create Light with the Power of Water

Bulk balsa, chipboard sheets, and dowels for blade making in the classroom.

The Solar Thermal Exploration Kit is modeled after a domestic solar water-heating system. Explore variables such as box color, light intensity, tube design, rate of water pumping, and amount of time it takes to heat the water. Learn about what makes a solar water heating system more or less efficient.

Use the PEM Electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen using only pure water and an external power source. Take your pick of power sources, all available from Horizon: small solar cell, wind turbines, fuel cells, mechanical hand cranks, or batteries. Using the high-tech proton exchange membrane, this tiny electrolyzer will produce hydrogen for use in any classroom or laboratory activities.
