"Catch the Wind, Harness the Sun" offers 22 exciting projects and experiments focused on producing and playing with renewable energy. Children ages 8 to 12 will extend and deepen their knowledge of environmental science. 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. Exciting illustrations and fun-fact sidebars will entertain and spark further curiosity, and children will love to read the inspiring stories of real kids who are leading the way with real renewable energy initiatives.
