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, students will explore how sound moves through physical matter by building a cup and string "telephone." Following testing their design, students will create a video or podcast to
In this creative lesson, students will design and build a Rube Goldberg Energy Transfer Project. They will work within a group over 1-2 weeks and create a presentation to demonstrate the energy
After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.
