WIND ENERGY

LESSON OVERVIEW

Wind Energy- Students will explore the words power and energy in relation to the
work that moving air (wind) does. They will also understand that air takes up space.
Students will complete an experiment to demonstrate the force of moving air on
objects. They will practice measuring distance to analyze their predictions and results.

BLOWN AWAY
Students investigate the power of air as it moves.
