Activities introduce the house as a system, explore conduction with insulation materials, investigate heat transfer using infrared thermometers, simulate home airflow, and test building
performance measures. The kit includes an all-encompassing teacher and student guide, and all of the tools and materials necessary to conduct the activities.

Guides are also available in PDF format as a FREE download.
