Back by popular demand, our new wind turbines activity allows pupils to learn how a wind turbine works, how they are engineered and constructed. Working in small teams, pupils use our redesigned wind turbine model kits to build and measure energy generated. By adjusting their design, each team is tasked to create and record the most efficient wind turbine.

Teams are encouraged enter their wind turbine results onto our online leader board for the chance to have created the most efficient EESW wind turbine in Wales!

The activity is complemented with extra teacher lead lesson resources in both rotation & transmission of forces – gears & ohm’s law.

Suitable for KS3.
