Working with Wind Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Investigating and Using Biomass Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

Working with Watermills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

Wind Power: Creating a Wind Generator
Source Institutions
This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

Solar Cell Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

Wind Turbine Blade Design
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design, build and test wind turbines. Learners go through the design process and use the scientific method to test important blade variables.
Waves: An Alternative Energy Source
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

Reflective Solar Cooker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.

Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
