    Energy Bike

    Bring energy conservation to life!

     

    The energy bike is a hands-on and feet-on tool used to teach about the importance of energy conservation and efficiency. Participants will see, first-hand, the difference in energy consumption of incandescent, fluorescent, and LED light bulbs. SCARCE will lead participants in a discussion of energy sources, including renewable and non-renewable, and simple methods for saving energy. Students will gain a concrete understanding of energy demand and resource conservation.

    Best suited for: grades 4-12*

    Program Length: 45 minutes

    Max. Recommended Class Size: 30 participants

    *Most of our programs can be adapted for older or younger audiences. The energy bike does have a height minimum.
