Renewable Energy Models
An exciting range of models useful in demonstrating a range of renewable energies to children of all ages, have been purchased by BCCAN as a result of a generous grant from the NRMA.
Energy types available for demonstration involve solar, wind, mechanical, heat and fuel cells.
BCCAN would like to hear from schools and organisations who would like to make use of these models.
An information sheet can be downloaded here.
