Building Wind Turbines


The island tree.
As part of our inquiry into renewable energy sources, the students worked in small groups to design and build a wind turbine.  Each member of the group had a specific job to do such as project manager, materials manager, designer and engineer.  The students worked together to develop a theme for their turbine, design the blades, build a stable tower, and find an effective position for the generator.  They had to overcome many obstacles along the way and make adjustments to their designs.  They did a wonderful job!
