Renewable Energy Turbines
Students will learn about how energy can be transferred from wind into electricity. Students will work in groups to design a wind turbine, research how turbines and generators work, build a turbine using craft materials and a small motor, and then test their turbines. Through testing and adjustments, students will learn more about the transfer of energy.

In this lesson plan, students will be able to build a simple electric motor and study how simple changes affect the motor's rotation. They will learn how energy comes in many forms, and how electric
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
In this lesson students will use a 3D Pen created and constructed catapult to learn about potential energy as well as test, document, and analyze different projectiles. This is the 2nd lesson in a
