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.

Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
This lesson allows students to describe the amount of current and voltage, and apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law in a series circuits. They do this by using the PhET Constructing Circuits Kit: DC and
