Investigating Wind Energy

This book contains 10 hands-on, engaging wind energy experiments for elementary students and a culminating wind energy engineering project.

Students explore wind energy through the use of KidWind MINI Wind Turbines (KW-MWT) and the Vernier Energy Sensor (VES-BTA). Topics such as energy transfer, basic electric circuits, and blade variables, including pitch, shape, quantity, mass, and material, are covered.
