Examine the most effective design of a windmill turbine! Take part in familiarizing yourself with a hands-on lesson as we explore the transfer of wind energy into electrical energy all-the-while determining the best possible design solution. Discover how this renewable resource can have a positive affect on our environment. Learn the adverse effects on crops and be able to understand arguments for and against the construction of wind turbines. In addition, we will compare and contrast traditional windmills with modern-day wind turbines while exploring your best design.
