Spin the Turbine
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.
