Build your own windmill and see how the wind can be converted into energy to produce electricity. This science fair project should help you understand the use of wind as a source of alternative energy. The Science Buddies project ideas...

An interactive map of the United States that gives information about each state's wind power potential.

Students research the feasibility of installing a wind-turbine distributed energy (DE) system for their school. They write a proposal (actually, the executive summary of a proposal) to the school principal based on their findings and...

Find out how a wind turbine can use the power of the wind to generate energy in this science fair engineering project. You will get to design various blades to find out which produces the most energy, and at what wind speeds they are...

In this science fair project, you will learn more about wind-powered devices, like pinwheels. Much like pinwheels, we react in different ways to the direction of the wind when we ride bikes, or even try to walk.

Wind data at several Missouri locations. Information on wind availability, rotor types, and uses.

In this activity, students develop an understanding of how engineers use wind to generate electricity. They will build a model anemometer to better understand and measure wind speed.

In this lesson, students read and analyze articles about the alkaline water in Lake Turkana in Kenya, and about a wind energy project near Lake Turkana. They then examine the many factors that must be considered when undertaking this...

Watch out. It's Eddy Vortex, Superhero. He swirls, he tumbles, he churns up air and water. OK, maybe eddies and vortices aren't exactly superheroes, but they are powerful regions of air and water flow that you have to watch out for in...

So you've just heard the "Happy Birthday" song and now it's time to blow out the candles. If you are sitting far away from the candles, you know you'll have to blow harder to get them all out than if you were sitting closer. In this...

This ebook version of Juliana Horatia Gatty Ewing's Jan Of The Windmill has been made available in multiple formats by the Open Library. Editions of the full novel, organized by year of publication, may be accessed here.

Students learn about wind as a source of renewable energy and explore the advantages and disadvantages wind turbines and wind farms. They also learn about the effectiveness of wind turbines in varying weather conditions and how engineers...

Discover the science concepts behind wind turbines and wind energy.

Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun. Since the earth's surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun's radiation unevenly. When the sun is shining...

Find out what renewable energy is and the role it plays in meeting energy needs. Renewable energy sources include biomass, hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar.

The Applied Science resource consists of practical activities that demonstrate the importance of standard procedures in scientific work. Students examine alternative energy through a variety of activities. Some topics investigated are...

A short fill-in-the-blank exercise on identifying the correct modal verb forms. Read a short paragraph about Geronimo's headress and then choose the correct verb in the following paragaph. Hints are available.

A number of electrical, nuclear, solar, and wind science projects and energy activities are described on this page, with links to each activity.

Students are given a history of electricity and its development into the modern age lifeline upon which we so depend. The methods of power generation are introduced, and further discussion of each technology's pros and cons follows.

This learning module looks at human-made systems of energy, covering different types of energy and power stations. Includes handouts, slideshows, maps, activities, photographs, an interactive animation, and videos.

Finding alternative energy sources is a challenge facing the leaders of today and tomorrow. Andy Darvill has created an impressive resource, summarizing various renewable and non-renewable energy resources.

The wind is a powerful force, enough to erode whole hillsides over time. Building structures in windy environments challenge civil engineers with special safety concerns. A wall in a windy area can either shield you from the cold or fall...

This resource provides information about bats, and bat conservation.

Renewable energy is the energy that is extracted from natural sources, such the Sun (solar), earth (geothermal), wind, and water (hydropower). These sources are renewable because they can be replenished by the same natural sources within...
