Cooking with Solar Energy—
Flinn STEM Design Challenge™
By: The Flinn Staff
In the first part of this activity, students make a basic box-type solar oven and then
investigate how high the internal temperature reaches in a given amount of time.
Once the data are collected and analyzed, students then apply their knowledge of
science concepts, such as heat transfer, reflection, absorption and the greenhouse
effect, to design and implement improvements for a more efficient oven.
Complete for eight student groups, including boxes. Thermometers are required
and available separately.

Biofuels—
Flinn STEM Design Challenge™
By: The Flinn Staff
First, students conduct a controlled experiment to
investigate the amount of carbon dioxide produced
through the fermentation reaction of yeast with
two different types of carbohydrates. Students
observe the amount of carbon dioxide produced
and determine the most productive carbohydrate
food source. Then students design and implement
a method to collect and quantify the amount of
carbon dioxide produced.
Complete for 30 students working in groups of three.

Solar-Powered Cars—
Flinn STEM Design Challenge™
By: The Flinn Staff
In the first part of this activity, students learn how a solar
car works and build a model prototype. Next they investigate
different variables to determine their effect on the
car’s performance. Based on the data collected and their
observations, students create an optimal design solution
for a faster moving car.
Full-size kits are complete for eight student groups. Small-size kits are complete for
4 student groups. Refill kits contain materials only.

Build a Solar Cell—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students build a DSC and learn about the principles
behind its operation. Light striking the dye surface is
absorbed and promotes an electron to a photoexcited
state. Electrons migrate through the titanium oxide film
and travel through the external circuit to the cathode.
Complete with enough materials to make four solar
cells. A multimeter may be used to measure the voltage
of the solar cell and is available separately. Includes Flinn
Exclusive STEM Integration Guide.

Build a Water Wheel—
Flinn STEM Design Challenge™
By: The Flinn Staff
In the first part of this activity, students build an
eight-bucket water wheel, choosing from the materials
provided. Each group then tests its wheel,
collecting data and making observations. Next,
students brainstorm and decide how to make
improvements to their design. Variables, such as the
size, shape and number of buckets, are considered.
The improved water wheels are given a final test to
determine maximum power generated.
Complete for 30 students working in groups of three and two testing stations. A
source of running or falling water is required for each testing station.

AP8050 Build a Water Wheel—Flinn STEM Design Challenge™ $57.78
Generating Electricity with Wind—
Flinn STEM Design Challenge™
By: The Flinn Staff
In the first part of this activity, students build a rotor and
blade assembly from the materials provided. Each group’s
prototype is tested by attaching it to a DC motor (acting in
reverse as a generator) connected to a multimeter. A fan
provides the wind. The highest readings of volts and amps
are recorded and the maximum power output is calculated.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs and two testing
stations. Multimeters and support stands with clamps
are required for each testing station and are available
separately.

Wind Energy—Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Each student group constructs a windmill with two interchangeable
fans of three and four blades, respectively.
Expose each windmill to a portable fan to measure the
time required for the torque of the windmill shaft to lift a
weight a given distance. From the data, students are able
to determine the power produced from the two different
blade designs and calculate which is more efficient.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Small portable
fans are required but not included. Fans may be
shared among student groups. Includes Flinn Exclusive
STEM Integration Guide.
