AT HOME WITH THE SUN is an excellent resource for kids, teachers, and home-schoolers. It introduces kids in grades 1-6 to solar energy in a logical text that focuses on the proven domestic uses of solar energy for hot water, home heat, and electricity. Ten hands-on activities using easy to find materials, including Michael's signature PIZZA BOX SOLAR OVEN. Dozens of clear, amuzing drawings of black and white line art enhance the text which shows how solar energy is relevant to the readers life. Examples such as solar powered calculators ground the concepts in everyday experience. Descriptions return again and again to cozy houses, warm baths, and solar electricity to run toys. Also places solar energy in a historic and multi-cultural perspective.
36 pages, 8.5x11 paperback

SOLAR S'MORES!
Build Your Own Pizza Box Solar Oven

A FUN, EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP

For ages 8-14, but younger and older can enjoy the fun, too! Each participant is given an oven kit to build themselves and KEEP for their own. Michael guides the construction effort and provides a demonstration of solar energy using models he's built, including: a windmill, solar car, and solar music box.

An excellent craft-based project that---sun willing---provides immediate results in the form of solar s'mores! Workshops require about 45 minutes depending on level of depth desired.
