This activity is designed to introduce students to the technology behind wind turbines, identify the design considerations of a wind turbine and consider the views of various stakeholders. This activity pack contains a scheme of work, a student support sheet, a supporting PowerPoint and a simple cut-and-stick “Build a Wind Turbine” activity, all designed to complement the KS3 Science National Curriculum.
Learning Objectives:
- Gathering, displaying and using data to support conclusions relating to energy efficiency and arguments about noise pollution.
- Applying ideas about energy transfer and pollution to explore arguments about the use of wind farms and evaluate environmental impact.
- Using ideas to inform discussions about overall power supply systems and judging impact of design on environment and communities.
- Identifying and testing possible solutions to problems by altering key parameters to arrive at optimum design.
