Students will understand how to convert wind energy into electricity. Students will also design and build their wind turbine and measure the amount of energy it produces.
The Energy Coalition will send you alligator clips, cardboard sheets, multimeters, DC motors, corks, paper clips, rubberbands, wire cutters, to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will design and build their wind turbines. In this activity, students will act as engineers and compare different blade designs to assess which produces the most energy.
Suggested Teaching Time: 40-50 minutes
NGSS Standards: MS-ESS3-3, MS-ETS1-1, MS-ETS1-2, MS-ETS1-3,
