Kids ages 8―12 will love these 22 exciting activities and experiments focused on producing and playing with renewable energy. Projects range from the quick and simple ― like the Pie Plate Wind-Maker ― to the thrillingly large-scale, like Pedal Power, in which kids use a bicycle to power a 12-volt battery. Each activity teaches children about renewable energy and larger environmental issues. Education doesn’t get more fun than this! Catch the Wind, Harness the Sun offers more than enough to get any kid charged up about renewable energy.

Uh-oh. Eddie's little sister gets a "bright idea" just days before the Battle of the Bands. Now Eddie has to write a new song, practice with his band, and help Keesha save energy all at the same time. Can he do it? This early reader for students in grades 1-3 is part of the 'Social Studies Connects' program which combines characters and plots with social studies concepts - here, the environment, saving energy, and making thoughtful decisions - that relate to kids' everyday lives and supports/reinforces social studies vocabulary. Reading Level: Grades 1-3

In Mechanical Energy, students learn how energy can be transferred from one object to another to make something move -- like wind blowing on a sail. Discover that mechanical energy can exist in two states: moving, or kinetic energy, and stored, or potential energy. A roller coaster is just one vivid example of how mechanical energy is constantly changing form -- from potential to kinetic -- and back again. Kids also discover that sound is mechanical energy, a concept that is explained visually through a fun demonstration. Simple machines are introduced as ways to use mechanical energy to make work easier.
