Description
Making Waves Hydro Turbine (Marine Engineering)
During this lesson students will construct a working hydro turbine. They will demonstrate Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, by using naturally flowing water to create rotary motion.
Wind Turbine Design (Electrical)
In this lesson, students will learn the difference between a windmill and a wind turbine. They will learn how a wind turbine uses mechanical energy within a generator and build their own working model. They will use the EFK Engineering Design Process to design, build and attach blades that generate the greatest electrical output possible. They will learn how to use a multimeter to measure the voltage being produced. The team that has the greatest electrical output wins.
