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.

Series / Parallel Circuits
In the “Energy in the Environment” section pupils are expected to be able to measure the current and voltage in series and parallel circuits and to show the advantages of using, in some instances, a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit.
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.
Mounted Motor
The motor is a 1.5V medium torque motor which can be worked over the range 1.0 – 6.0 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.
