CREEK - Classroom
Renewable Energy Education Kit
Designed around our simple and powerful
Smart Meter - Data
Logger, the CREEK - Classroom Renewable Energy Education Kit is
specially created for those who want to add a bit of rigor (and fun) to their
renewable energy education lessons. Our CREEK combines familiar renewable energy
devices like a solar panel, a DC light, music box, resistors, clip leads, a
magnetic compass, protractor, a small motor-propeller, a rechargeable battery,
LEDs, and, of course, the
Smart Meter - Data Logger that makes all the experiments in the lessons
an easy, worthwhile experience for teachers and students, alike.
And all
lessons are included!
(the components in the above image are not to exact scale)
The CREEEK is a complete, ready-to-go kit with rugged materials,
full-color hookup diagrams and intriguing lessons that have all the inquiry
about renewable energy built in with none of the frustration. Many
teachers try to go it alone or use someone else's ideas about how to do
renewable energy experiments with a poor materials and ill conceived lessons that often don't
perform as expected and just consume valuable classroom time in trying to make
them work.
 Plus, they are further complicated
by the fact that individual measurements of voltage, current and resistance must
be made at different times and not all a once - the major pitfall of using a
single multi-meter - not to mention its own confusing dial that is hard to
understand. This not only corrupts the experimental process but tends to
dissuade many students from further interest in STEM study, since their
experience was not as inspiring and complete as they had anticipated –
especially given the computer age in which they now live.
The CREEK changes all of this and
makes your classroom renewable energy learning experience a worthwhile endeavor
for both you and your students. All data -
voltage, current, resistance, power and energy - are captured at the same time
and displayed in real-time on the LCD screen or stored for later review and
analysis. Use the Smart Meter
- Data Logger as a stand alone measurement tool by itself or with your
computer to produce real-time full-color graphic plots.
