Description
Looking for an engineering activity that blows all the others away? The Mini Wind Turbine gets kids engineering their own unique Turbines that harness the power of the wind and convert it into real electricity! (Don’t worry – it’s safe.) TeacherGeek makes it a breeze to modify your Turbine design: creating new blades from recycling bin materials, adjusting their size, shape, angle, and quantity. Kids can even modify their base to make their Turbines turn when the wind direction changes! All in the pursuit of the most effective Turbine design possible. Grades 3 – 12+ (different documents for different ages). Some adult assistance is helpful for 3rd-graders. TeacherGeek is not a toy; it’s way better! Kids love making real things, especially when they get to use age-appropriate tools. Kids will need a Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing), tape, scissors, and a fan (for wind) to make and test their turbines.
