After spending 3 classes learning about the ways energy from natural resources can be converted to electricity, students had the opportunity to design their own wind turbines. Each design followed a set of criteria which was laid out prior to the start of building time. Wind turbines were tested with a blow dryer and a small cup of weights on a string (showing the amount of power each design was capable of producing).

This lesson engaged all students, including those who tended to take a back seat during hands-on lessons!
