Making Wind Turbines

As part of design technology, the students in Collingham Gardens have studied wind energy. 

In teams they were given the materials required  and challenged to make the most powerful wind turbine they could! They very enthusiastically took on this challenge and got to work. 

With minimum adult input they were able to construct their wind turbines and investigate where it would make the most energy. 

Absolutely amazing team work! 

See the link below for some more great energy projects. We might attempt the solar oven (that's if we ever get the right weather for it!!).

  • This looks like a great activity. We have recently made a solar oven here in Dublin from pizza boxes. Must give the wind turbine a go soon.
  • Sarah, this looks great fun! We'll have a go at Brompton and let you know how we get on!
  • This is a challenging work for the people at the your school - cristina, 15, Turin
