Jonathon Thwaites from the University of Western Australia has some excellent resources for teachers that are related to sustainability.

He has developed a number of models and toys that run on sustainable power that are great for teaching kids about sustainability.

For example, he has a model car set using a Fisher and Paykel washing machine motor as a generator.

Jonathon also has a display involving a bucket of water that is filled using a solar powered pump.

If you want to generate electricity while you're exercising, then check out these exercise bikes. They are available for loan and hire from Johnathon.
