How Do You Build A Kids Project On Electricity And Windmills?
Inspire the next generation of scientists to discover “green” energy sources by building a smaller model of a wind energy turbine. A windmill generator can produce electricity using power from the wind and is a renewable resource. Kids can test many variables when building an electricity and windmill project, such as the effect of windmill configurations, types, blade sizes, wind speeds and many other variables that test the effectiveness of wind energy; they can also discover ways to improve the design of a windmill to produce the most amount of electricity. Infinitepower.org provides a simple design for building a windmill and a detailed lesson plan for implementing the project in the classroom. Attach the small electric motor to a ruler using a rubber band. Be sure that the motor shaft extends the edge of the ruler. Attach two pieces of wire to each of the motor’s outlets. Attach the wires with alligator clips to a Direct Current (DC) voltmeter, which is used to measure the electric
