Various sections in the Curriculum for Excellence programme require pupils to be conversant with the concepts of renewable energy, the different types of energy around us as well as the conversion of one form of energy to another.

Welcome to Schools Lab
This business was set up over twelve years ago. At that time I was a teacher of physics and had become frustrated with the lack of equipment dedicated for the “Five to Fourteen” programme – so I made my own.
Many of the products are therefore unique in that they are directed at specific areas of the curriculum and are unlikely to be available elsewhere.
With the advent of the “Curriculum for Excellence” we intend to continue with this strategy and hope to extend our product range.
Model House
In the section “Energy in the Environment” pupils are expected to understand the basic concepts of designing an energy efficient building.
Solar Power
In the section “Energy in the Environment” pupils are expected to be familiar with the renewable energy sources that are available to us. This model illustrates clearly the possibility of harnessing electrical power from the sun.
Mounted Buzzer
The buzzer is a 1.5V solid state buzzer and so polarity is important. It can be worked over the range 1.0 – 2.0 V and as such can be run off a 1.5V cell. It is therefore ideal for the primary schools where low voltage power packs may not be available.
