Introduction
Through this experiment, students will gain a hands-on understanding of wind energy and how to design and build wind turbines. They will also develop important STEM skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and design thinking.
Program Overview
The KIOSC program designed is for one experiment where students investigate how many blades and what length of blade should an efficient wind turbine have. There is more scope to go beyond this single activity using the Teacher and Student resources from STELR.
Equipment Loan
8 x Wind Turbine Kits
Learning Management Resources – On booking, teachers email will be added to the LMS for access.
Curriculum Focus
Science / Digital Technologies / Mathematics
Duration: Estimated learning for students is 60 minutes, but additional resources through STELR can be used for these kits.
Maximum: 24 students (group of 3 per kit)
