Solar Cell and Renewable Energy Experiments
Give renewable energy a try. Solar, wind, and hydropower can be used to offset the use of fossil fuels. The projects in this book teach young readers about solar cells, electricity, and energy. They'll experiment with simple ways of using renewable energy to power different devices. Many experiments include ideas readers can use for their own science fair projects.

Cool Science Projects with Technology series. Each collection of experiments encourages science aficionados to explore in-depth such items as motors and electrical circuits along with forces and motion. Straightforward scientific information and color photographs and diagrams are integrated into the projects (most of which require more than just household materials). Questions throughout encourage deeper thinking and engineer-type problem solving. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2011
