1 Renewable energy for education, for our future! Topics Conversion of energy Storage of energy Solar thermal energy Photovoltaics Thermal energy Wind energy Hydro power Ambient heat Hydrogen technology Applied Sciences

2 Renewable energy in the classroom learning and teaching made easy In these times of a global increase in energy demand, growing scarcity of fossil and nuclear fuels, and hazards for humans and the environment that are caused by the utilisation of these fuels, the sustainable use of renewable sources of energy is becoming increasingly important, in research as well as in everyday life. Understanding the concept of renewable energy The topic of renewable energy has found its way into classrooms all over the world. Topics such as the conversion, storage, and sustainable use of clean sources of energy have become an integral part of teaching at schools, vocational education institutions, and universities. This year, the United Nations also put their focus on this topic by declaring the year 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. PHYWE offers numerous products and clear and true-to-reality experiments on the highest didactic level concerning the topic of renewable energy. Complete experiment sets with detailed experiment descriptions are supplemented by computer-based data acquisition and the e-learning software intertess for fascinating and diversified lessons. The topics are adapted to the relevant framework curricula and syllabi: Conversion of energy Storage of energy Thermal energy Ambient heat Photovoltaics Solar thermal energy Wind energy Hydro power Hydrogen technology Conversion of wind energy into electric energy Applied Sciences

3 Early practice experiments for schools Student experiments TESS advanced The TESS advanced experiments Renewable Energy enables students to perform more than 50 experiments on their own. Set 1 offers an introduction into the topic with experiments concerning the conversion and storage of wind, water, solar, and thermal energy. In addition, set 2 covers wind-hydrogen and solar-hydrogen systems. Demonstration experiments Demo advanced Adapted to the TESS student sets, experiments concerning the same topics can also be performed on the magnetic board in a clearly visible way for all students. 34 experiments are covered in two extensive demonstration sets. intertess intertess software for the intuitive and autonomous performance of experiments with state-ofthe-art media! Hydrogen technology Computer-based measurement data recording Cobra4 wireless Modern and up to date the majority of the demonstration experiments are performed with the Cobra4 measurement data recording system for reasons of simplification and better visibility for the students. Cobra4 Sensor-Unit Energy specially designed for experiments in the field of renewable energy
