of many stages and levels of the British National Curriculum, the
most direct links can be made with the Geography and Science
programmes of study from keystage 1 – 4.
The Renewable Energy Kit is tested to EN 71 and EN 50 088
safety standards for electronic toys.
The kit comprises of the following components:
•
Wind Turbine
•
Water Turbine - 1 Inlet / 1 outlet pipe
•
Solar Panel
•
Universal Base
•
Universal Mast Section
•
Output Dials -
1. PowerMeter
2. Light Display (LED)
3. Alarm /Buzzer
4. Motion Display (gears)
1) Demonstrations of the Renewable Energy Kit should be
supervised at all times by an adult.
2) Stand clear of, and do not interfere with, the moving Wind
Turbine blades.
3) The orange ON/OFF Switch on the Universal Base will
stay DOWN when in the ON position.
4) It is important to ensure that when assembling or
interchanging any elements or output dials of the Removable
Energy Kit that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
5) Make sure you are near enough to electricity or water
supplies for demonstrating indoors.
6) Plug the Universal Mast into the base (Note that the water
device plugs directly into the base without the pole.)
