And they're off! The Race for Renewable Energy is underway as Bonehead and a gang of racers compete in the "Cannonbone Run" -- each using a different renewable fuel source: battery, wind, biodiesel, solar, and even foot power! J.P. Rothbone and his sniveling cronies have other plans! They will stop at nothing to ensure gaining notoriety for their own fuel product, Rothenol, which is actually nothing more than dirty used gasoline! Kids learn about fossil fuels -- how they were formed and why they will not last forever; pollution and global warming effects from burning fossil fuels; the concepts of renewable and sustainable energy sources; different types of sustainable fuel sources we can use to power our cars, homes, and businesses. In the "Newsflash," kids meet Mr. Z of Blue Marble Solar. Mr. Z shows us the power of the sun reflected through a lens; explains how sunlight is captured by photovoltaic cells in a solar array and converted into electricity that can be used day or night; and shows kids some everyday objects that already use solar power. Finally he explains how an actual solar powered car may work in the future. Free downloadable Educators' Resource Guides for Grades K-4 and 5-8 addressing U.S. National Science Standards included. Starring an original cast of cartoon characters, Planet Bonehead is entertainment and environmental/conservation education rolled into one. The Boneheads' resolve to solve Earth's problems leads to uproarious capers and up-close and personal encounters with nature. This series teaches elementary-aged children about current wildlife and environmental issues, and empowers them to act now and make planet Earth a great place to live.
