Wind Energy on Brain Pop
Students will be learning about wind energy and the transfer of energy. They will be using inquiry and the engineering design process to build paper turbines and will test their design to see how much of a "load" (large paper clips) their turbine can lift. They will continue exploring variables (independent, dependent and controlled) and make decisions about which controlled variable they would like to change in their redesign.
