K&rsquo;NEX Education &ndash; Renewable Energy Set &ndash; 583 Pieces &ndash; Ages 10+ &ndash; Engineering Educational Toy Builds 9 Renewable Energy Models from KNEX! Wind, Solar and Hydro Powered models that are all operational! Compare and contrast the power and efficiency of three different alternative energy sources Models focus on physical science concepts such as force, motion, simple machines, leverage, mechanical advantage, work, energy and efficiency. Comprehensive teacher's guide aligned to NSES, ITEEA, NCTM and Common Core Mathematics standards included. 9 BUILDING IDEAS  Children will enjoy creating 9 fully functioning models with the colorful Renewable Energy Set. This sets plastic pieces and connectors can be combined to make a moving shuttle ride using the solar panel or a sail car using the wind. Unleash your children's creativity by giving them a gift they can design and build on their own. OFFERS HANDS-ON LEARNING  KNEX Education introduces scientific inquiry, investigation, and experimentation to children by letting them build 9 different renewable energy models. Children can create interactive models that move on their own. They can build a crank man using the solar panel or compare and contrast the power and efficiency of wind, water, and solar energy. PROMOTES TEAMWORK  Encourage your children and their friends to learn about renewable energy through playtime! The Renewable Energy Set is specially designed for children ages 10 and up. KNEX Education can accommodate 6 to 12 children working in teams with its 583 colorful pieces. This engineering toy promotes teamwork, camaraderie, and social skills development.

Keep your children entertained on family outings by bringing along the KNEX Education Renewable Energy Set. STEAMagination : Its the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a childs natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every KNEX building set. Building with KNEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects. LESSON PLANS AND EXPERIMENTS: All KNEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in todays busy classroom.	ALIGNED TO NATIONAL STANDARDS: KNEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core. REAL WORLD LEARNING: Study after study reveals that students have more success learning STEM subjects through activities related to the real world rather than reading about abstract concepts in textbooks. KNEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and contraptions and through the lesson plans and experiments, gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work.
