In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
