100 small experiments! Create a wind turbine, solar boat, power a house with a wind turbine, etc. This might be best used as a teacher demo kit.
This type of data logger can monitor energy consumption of AC-powered plug in loads AND be used as a watt meter.
Helpful Links:
Use this tool to help calculate the air velocity (ft/min, m/s, km/h, MPH, or knots), humidity (%RH), light (Lux and Ft-cd), and temperature!

Helpful Links for Light Meter:
Range finders can be used to measure length, area, volume, and continuously like a tape measure. Point the laser, press the button, and the distance is displayed on the screen.

How energy efficient is your school or organization? Use infrared cameras as a diagnostic tool to reveal any air leaks, missing insulation, or issues with the HVAC system. The camera can also be used to read the temperature.
The K-12 Energy Benchmarking Kit includes all equipment needed for lessons 7-14.
The lightbox is used to demonstrate energy efficiency by comparing different types of lightbulbs (incandescent, CFL, and LED). A light meter and infrared camera are also often borrowed with the lightbox to compare light and heat output.
