outcome

A folder with 40 experiments about renewable energy: sun energy, greenhouse effect, power and electricity, wind energy, biomass, biogas and tranport.
Each chapter has a general introduction to the subject.
The original material is in Danish.
Download also in English or Danish from www.skoleenergi.dk.
You can also download some of the experiments from this site: English, Hungarian, Spanish and Romanian - click links below.
The translations were made by INFORSE members Earth Fiends Romania in 2004, E-misszio Hungary in 2005, and Abigáil Tascón García, Spanish trainee at INFORSE-Europe in 2006.
More information can be found at this web site on the use of the Romanian experiements, and the Hungarian experiments.
The Danish cases are linked from the Danish School Energy Forum web site.

evaluation

"Experiments with Energy" is a success in Denmark, with many downloads, and a great deal of feedback. Many other countries have also shown interest, and that is why some of the experiments have been translated into other languages.
