This is indeed a very interesting way for children to learn and have fun as well.    This kit show how science can help improve our daily lives.

The experiments are fun to work with and would need the guidance of the child's parent to better explain the concepts involved.
Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. Wind energy has been used for centuries to pump water and crush grain in windmills, and is now increasingly being used to generate electricity to power our modern world.

During the experiments, you will learn the physics of force and motion as it applies to wind power technology. Learn how to measure and calculate the different forces acting on the rotor blades by breaking them down into vectors
