P4-7 Science Outside 3 by Nicola Connor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/i1bx5k5sn9yeanac en-us 2020-10-07 08:58:32 UTC 2023-07-20 12:05:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/712580201/e0e3a46559cdc5861ba5d1d29a432bac/Logo_22.jpg missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/i1bx5k5sn9yeanac/wish/809645491 2020-10-07 09:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/missnconnor/i1bx5k5sn9yeanac/wish/809645491 Build your own wind turbine missnconnor https://padlet.com/missnconnor/i1bx5k5sn9yeanac/wish/809649673 This is a science activity that you can easily do at home using household materials. 

How is this a STEM activity?
This activity is a 2-part STEM activity. It requires you to build your own wind turbines from household materials and then simulate a working wind farm while observing the scientific process.

What do I need?

For the wind turbines (pinwheels)
Paper, Straws, Push pins, Paper fasteners, Scissors

For the functioning wind farm
Wind turbines, Basket with holes or a dish drainer, Hairdryer, Paper, Pen, Stickers

You may wish to use different materials to create your wind turbines- but you will need a hairdryer or fan to test.

Record if how your wind farm rotates- if you have more turbines rotating when the "wind" comes from different angles.

It ties maths, science and conversation into a rainy week!
